Why are photodiodes used preferably in reverse bias condition?

State the reason, why the photodiode is always operated under reverse bias. Write the working principle of operation of a photodiode. The semiconducting material used to fabricate a photodiode, has an energy gap of 1.2 eV. Using calculations, show whether it can detect light of wavelength of 400nm incident on it

Identify the following. (a) The gaseous compound of two non-metals required for photosynthesis. (b) The compound of two non-metals which exists in all the three states under normal conditions. (c) The metal which breaks into pieces on the application of force. (d) The metal used in thermometers. (e) The inert gas used in advertisement sign boards.

Zener diode is a specially desined p-n junction diode, in which both p-side and n-side of p-n junction are heavily doped. The zener diode is designed especially to operate in the reverse break down voltage region continuosly without being damaged? Zener diode is used to remove the fluctuations from the given voltage and thereby provides a voltage of constant magnitude (i.e., Zener diode is used as voltage regulator). Read the above pragraph and answer the following question: (i) What is the most important use of Zener diode? (ii) What are the essential conditions for proper working of Zener diode? (iii) What do you learn from the above atudy?
