Which of the following LED emits red and yellow light?

Which of the following LED emits red and yellow light?

Options

  1. AGa−As−P\text{Ga} - \text{As} - \text{P}
  2. BGa−P\text{Ga} - \text{P}
  3. CGa−As\text{Ga} - \text{As}
  4. DAs−P\text{As} - \text{P}

Correct answer

A. Ga−As−P\text{Ga} - \text{As} - \text{P}

Step-by-step solution

The semiconductor used for fabrication of visible LEDs must have a band gap of at least 1.8 eV1.8 \text{ eV}.

Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAs1−xPx\text{GaAs}_{1-x}\text{P}_x) is used for making LEDs of different colours such as red, yellow, and orange.

For example, GaAs0.6P0.4\text{GaAs}_{0.6}\text{P}_{0.4} (Eg≈1.9 eVE_g \approx 1.9 \text{ eV}) is used for red LEDs.

Gallium Arsenide (GaAs\text{GaAs}) has a band gap of ≈1.4 eV\approx 1.4 \text{ eV} and is used for infrared LEDs.

Gallium Phosphide (GaP\text{GaP}) is typically used for green LEDs.

Thus, Ga−As−P\text{Ga}-\text{As}-\text{P} is the material that emits red and yellow light.

Answer: Ga−As−P\text{Ga} - \text{As} - \text{P}
