The band gap of photodiode is found to be \left(\dfrac{X}{8}\right)eV .ThevalueofThe value ofXis:</p><p>(Givenis:</p><p>(Givenh = 6 . 6 \times {10}^{- 34}Js, e = 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}C)

Options

  1. A1515
  2. B1111
  3. C1313
  4. D2121

Correct answer

A. 1515

Step-by-step solution

Given: Threshold wavelength =660nm= 660nm.

Therefore, energy required(or band gap energy) Eg=hcλ=6.6×10−34×3×108660×10−9J{E}_{g} = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = \dfrac{6 . 6 \times {10}^{- 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8}}{660 \times {10}^{- 9}}J

=6.6×10−34×3×108660×10−9×1.6×10−19eV= \dfrac{6 . 6 \times {10}^{- 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8}}{660 \times {10}^{- 9} \times 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}}eV

=158eV= \dfrac{15}{8}eV

So, X=15X = 15.
