find the maximum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation which can create a hole-electron pair in germanium.The band gap in germanium is 0.65eV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Band gap` =0.65eV,lambda = ?`
`E = (hc)/(lambda)`
`lambda =(hc)/(E) = (1242)/(0.65)`
`= 1910.7xx10^(-9)m`
` = 1.9xx10^(-9)m`
` = 1.9xx10^(-6)m`
