### Step-by-Step Text Solution: **Step 1: Understanding the Structure of a Light Emitting Diode (LED)** A Light Emitting Diode (LED) consists of a p-n junction formed by p-type and n-type semiconductors. The p-type semiconductor contains holes (positive charge carriers), while the n-type semiconductor contains electrons (negative charge carriers). **Step 2: Drawing the Diagram** 1. Draw a horizontal line to represent the p-n junction. 2. Label the left side as the p-type region and the right side as the n-type region. ...
