JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 3rd September Evening Slot - No. 19)

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

Planck’s constant h = 6.63 $$ \times $$ 10–34 J.s. Speed of light c = 3 $$ \times $$ 108 m/s
1.5 eV
2.0 eV
3.1 eV
1.1 eV

Explanation

$$E = {{hc} \over \lambda }$$

= $${{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {400 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}$$

= $${{1240} \over {400}}$$ eV

= 3.1 eV
