An LED is constructed from \(\mathrm{Ga\text-As\text-P}\) semiconducting material with an energy gap of \(1.9~\text{eV}.\) What is the wavelength of the emitted light and what colour does it correspond to?
(take \(h=6.63\times10^{-34}~\text{J-s}\) and \(c=3\times10^8~\text{m/s}\))
| 1. | \(1046~\text{nm}\) and red colour |
| 2. | \(654~\text{nm}\) and orange colour |
| 3. | \(1046~\text{nm}\) and blue colour |
| 4. | \(654~\text{nm}\) and red colour |
For extrinsic semiconductors, when doping level is increased:
| 1. | Fermi-level of \(p\)-type semiconductors will go upward and Fermi-level of \(n\)-type semiconductors will go downward. |
| 2. | Fermi-level of \(p\)-type semiconductors will go downward and Fermi-level of \(n\)-type semiconductors will go upward. |
| 3. | Fermi-level of both \(p\)-type and \(n\)-type semiconductors will go upward for \(T>T_F\) K and downward for \(T<T_F\) K, where \(T_F\) is Fermi temperature. |
| 4. | Fermi-level of \(p\) and \(n\)-type semiconductors will not be affected. |
