STANDARD Physics Wavelength and Energy Gap MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

The maximum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, which can create a hole-electron pair is germanium. (Given that forbidden energy gap in germanium is 0.72 eV)

A

1.7 × 10⁻⁶ m

B

1.5 × 10⁻⁵ m

C

1.3 × 10⁻⁴ m

D

1.9 × 10⁻⁵ m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula \lambda = rac{hc}{E}, where E=0.72exteVE = 0.72 \, ext{eV}, the maximum wavelength is calculated to be 1.7 × 10⁻⁶ m.
