The energy gap of silicon is `1.14 eV`. The maximum wavelength at which silicon will begin absorbing energy is

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum wavelength at which silicon will begin absorbing energy, we can use the relationship between energy and wavelength given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Where: - \(E\) is the energy gap (in joules), ...
