Assertion: A `P-N` photodiode is made from a semiconductor for which `E_(g)=2.8 eV`. This photo diode will not detect the wavelength of `6000 nm`.
Reason: A `PN` photodiode detect wavelength `lambda` if `(hc)/(lambda)gtE_(g)`.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.
