  1. Question 1

    Q1. The energy gap in a semiconductor is 1 eV. The wavelength of the emitted radiation when an electron recombines with a hole is

    • A) 1240 nm
    • B) 620 nm
    • C) 2480 nm
    • D) 310 nm

    Answer: 1240 nm

    Explanation: λ = hc/E = (6.626 × 10^-34 × 3 × 10^8) / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 1) = 1240 nm, using the formula for energy of a photon.
