A `p-n` photodiode is made of a material with a band gap of `2.0 eV`. The minimum frequency of the radiation that can be absorbed by the material is nearly

A

`1xx10^(14)Hz`

B

`20xx10^(14)Hz`

C

`10xx10^(14)Hz`

D

`5xx10^(14)Hz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
E=hf
`impliesf=(E)/(h)=(2xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(6.6xx10^(-34))`
= `4.8xx10^(14)~~5xx10^(14)Hz`
