The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Light Emitting Diode (LED) emits spontaneous radiation." - **Explanation**: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it. The light is produced due to the recombination of electrons and holes in the semiconductor material. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "LEDs are forward biased p-n junctions." - **Explanation**: In a p-n junction, when it is forward biased, the p-type material (which has an abundance of holes) and the n-type material (which has an abundance of electrons) allow current to flow. This forward bias reduces the potential barrier, allowing electrons to recombine with holes, which releases energy in the form of light. ### Step 3: Linking Assertion and Reason Now, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - **Analysis**: Since the assertion is about the emission of light (spontaneous radiation) and the reason explains that this occurs due to the forward biasing of the p-n junction, we can conclude that the reason supports the assertion. ### Step 4: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion. Therefore, we can conclude that: - **Final Answer**: Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason explains the assertion.
