    A p-n photodiode is fabricated from .a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.5 eV. It can detect a signal of wavelength

    A) \[6000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] 

    B)                        4000 nm

    C) 6000 nm                              

    D) \[4000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea Only signals having wavelength less than threshold wavelength will be detected. Energy    \[=[{{M}^{1}}{{L}^{1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]\[=[{{M}^{1}}{{L}^{1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]\[\therefore \] Substituting the values of h, c and E in the above equation \[\therefore \] As  \[\text{-}\] Signal of wavelength \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] can be detected by the photodiode.
