In a p-type semiconductor the acceptor level is situated 60 m eV above the valence band. The maximum wavelength of light required to produce a hole will be [use hc `=12400 eV Å]`.

A

`0.207 xx 10^(-5) m`

B

`2.07 xx 10^(-5) m`

C

`20.7 xx 10^(-5) m`

D

`2075 xx 10^(-5) m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`lambda =(hc)/E = (6.62 xx 10^(-34)xx 3xx 10^8)/((60xx10^(-3) xx 1.6xx 10^(-19)))=2.07 xx 10^(-5)m`
