The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases when electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than 2480   nm is incident on it. The bandgap in (eV) for the semiconductor is [take hc = 12400   eV   A ∘ ]
Options
- A0.5 eV
- B0.7 eV
- C1.1 eV
- D2.5 eV
Correct answer
A. 0.5 eV
Step-by-step solution
λ max = 2 4 8 0  nm = 2 4 8 0 0  Å Energy (in eV ) = 12400   e V   Å λ E = 1 2400 2 4 8 0 0  eV E= 0 . 5  eV
