प्रश्न
Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to (Eg)C, (Eg)Si and (Eg)Ge. Which of the following statements is true?
विकल्प
(Eg)Si < (Eg)Ge < (Eg)C
(Eg)C < (Eg)Ge > (Eg)Si
(Eg)C > (Eg)Si > (Eg)Ge
(Eg)C = (Eg)Si = (Eg)Ge
उत्तर
(Eg)C > (Eg)Si > (Eg)Ge
Explanation:
Of the three given elements, the energy band gap of carbon is the maximum and that of germanium is the least.
The energy band gap of these elements are related as: (Eg)C > (Eg)Si > (Eg)Ge

LED is a heavily doped P-N junction which under forward bias emits spontaneous radiation. When it is forward-biased, due to recombination of holes and electrons at the junction, energy is released in the form of photons. In the case of Si and Ge diode, the energy released in recombination lies in the infrared region. LEDs that can emit red, yellow, orange, green and blue light are commercially available. The semiconductor used for fabrication of visible LEDs must at least have a band gap of 1.8 eV. The compound semiconductor Gallium Arsenide – Phosphide is used for making LEDs of different colours.
