JEE Main Sample Paper-31
question_answer
There are four semiconductors A, B, C and D with respective Band gaps of \[3eV,\,2eV,\,1eV\] and \[0.6\] sec for use inphotodetector to detect \[14000\,\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\] Select suitable semiconductor.
A)A
B)B
C)C
D)D
Correct Answer:
D
Solution :
To use as photodetector \[{{E}_{g}}<\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{12400}{14000}=0.89\,\,eV\] Hence, appropriate is D.
