    In germanium crystal, the. forbidden energy gap in joule is :

    A)  zero           

    B)  \[1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\]

    C)  \[1.1\times {{10}^{-19}}\]

    D)  \[1.76\times {{10}^{-19}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Semiconductors are similar to insulators but the conduction and valence bands are spaced closely, so that at room temperature a number of electrons are found in conduction band. For germanium, forbidden energy gap = 0.67 eV \[=0.67\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[=1.072\times {{10}^{-19}}J\approx 1.1\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]
