    The energy gap of silicon is 1.14 eV. The maximum wavelength at which silicon will begin absorbing energy is [MP PMT 1993]

    A)            10888 Å                                  

    B)            1088.8 Å

    C)            108.88 Å                                 

    D)            10.888 Å

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{{\lambda }_{\max }}=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1.14\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=10888{\AA}\]
