The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor of a semiconductor increases when electromagnetic radiation of wavelength shorter than 2480 nm, is incident on it. The band gap in (eV) for the semi conductor is ……

A

`1.1 eV`

B

`2.5 eV`

C

`0.5 eV`

D

`0.7 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Energy band `= (12400(eV-Å))/(lamda(Å))=(12400)/(24800)=0.5eV`.
