In a semiconductor, the energy gap between the valence and conduction bands is 1. 1 eV. It is expressed in joules as

A

`1.2xx10^(-19)` J

B

`1.76xx10^(-19)` J

C

`1.6xx10^(-19)` J

D

`3.2xx10^(-19)` J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Energy gap =1.1 eV = `1.1 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)=1.76xx10^(-19) ` J
