Semiconductor Diode MCQ Level – 1 - Question 1

The correct sequence of band gaps of germanium   siliconand gallium arsenidewill :

Detailed Solution for Semiconductor Diode MCQ Level – 1 - Question 1

Correct Answer :- C

Explanation : It generally refers to the energy difference (in electron volts) between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band in insulators and semiconductors. The energy band gaps of silicon and germanium are 1.1eV and 0.

The band gap of GaAs results in efficient emission of infrared light at 1.424 eV.

Semiconductor Diode MCQ Level – 1 - Question 2

Identify the condition for a transistor to act as an amplifier.

Detailed Solution for Semiconductor Diode MCQ Level – 1 - Question 2

Explanation: In order to use a transistor as an amplifier the emitter-base junction is set up as forward biased and the base-collector junction is set up as reverse biased. This is the criteria for making a transistor function as an amplifier.
