If a semiconductor photodiode can detect a photon with a maximum wavelength of 400nm, then its band gap energy is :

Planck’s constant h=6.63×1034J.s. Speed of light c=3×108m/s

a
1.1eV
b
3.1eV
c
2.0eV
d
1.5eV

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Band gap = Energy of photon =  hcλ=12400/λ in AoBand gap =   4.14×10−15×3×1084×10−7ev=3.1ev
