Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 12
What is the term for the energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band in semiconductors?
A
Energy gap E g
B
Valence energy level
C
Conduction threshold
D
Band separation distance
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The energy gap E g is defined as the separation between the valence band, which is completely occupied by electrons, and the conduction band, which is empty at absolute zero. This concept is crucial in understanding semiconductor behavior as described in the content.
