    A photodetector is made from a semiconductor In 0.53Ga 0.47As with Eg = 0.73 eV. What is the maximum wavelength, which it can detect

    A)            1000 nm                                 

    B)            1703 nm

    C)            500 nm                                   

    D)            173 nm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Limiting value of hn  is Eg, such that \[h\nu =\frac{hc}{\lambda }={{E}_{g}}\] or \[\lambda =\frac{hc}{{{E}_{g}}}\]\[=\frac{6.63\times {{10}^{-34}}J\text{-}s\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}}{0.73\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J}\] = 1703 nm
