    For LED's to emit light in visible region of electromagnetic light, it should have energy band gap in the range of:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 12 Apirl  2014 )

    A) eV to 0.4 eV                      

    B) 0.5 eV to 0.8 eV

    C) 0.9 eV to 1.6 eV               

    D) 1.7 eV to 3.0 eV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Energy band gap range is given by, \[{{E}_{g}}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] For visible region \[\lambda =\left( 4\times {{10}^{-7}}\tilde{\ }7\times {{10}^{-7}} \right)m\] \[{{E}_{g}}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{7\times {{10}^{-7}}}\] \[=\frac{19.8\times {{10}^{-26}}}{7\times {{10}^{-7}}}\] \[=\frac{2.8\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\]                              \[{{E}_{g}}=1.75eV\]
