JEE Main2014PhysicsDual Nature of MatterActual
For LED's to emit light in visible region of electromagnetic light, it should have energy band gap in the range of:
Options
- A0.1 eV to 0.4 eV
- B0.5 eV to 0.8 eV
- C0.9 eV to 1.6 eV
- D1.7 eV to 3.0 eV
Correct answer
D. 1.7 eV to 3.0 eV
Step-by-step solution
Energy band gap range is given by, E _ g = hc For visible region aligned & = (4 10⁻⁷ 7 10⁻⁷ ) m & E _ g = 6.6 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 7 10⁻⁷ &= 19.8 10⁻²⁶ 7 10⁻⁷ &= 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ & E _ g =1.75 eV aligned
