In a p type semiconductor the acceptor level is situated 50 meV above the valence band. The maximum wavelength of light required to produce a hole will be: |
$24.8 × 10^{-5} m$ $0.248 × 10^{-5} m$ $2.48 × 10^{-5} m$ $248 × 10^{-5} m$ |
$2.48 × 10^{-5} m$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $2.48 × 10^{-5} m$ Energy required to excite an electron from the valence bond, $E=50meV$ and, the relationship between the energy E of light is, $E=\frac{hc}{λ}=\frac{4.135×10^{-15}×3×10^8}{50×10^{-3}}$ $=2.48 × 10^{-5} m$ |
