    An LED is constructed from a pn junction based on a certain semi-conducting material whose energy gap is 1.9 eV. Then the wavelength of the emitted light is

    A)  \[1.6\times {{10}^{-8}}m\]

    B)  \[9.1\times {{10}^{-5}}m\]

    C)  \[2.9\times {{10}^{-9}}m\]

    D)  \[6.5\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : The wavelength of the emitted light is \[\lambda =\frac{hc}{{{E}_{g}}}\] where h is the Plancks constant, c is the velocity of light in vacuum and \[{{E}_{g}}\] is the energy gap. Here, \[{{E}_{g}}=1.9eV=1.9\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[h=6.63\times {{10}^{-34}}Js,\,\,c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\lambda =\frac{(6.63\times {{10}^{-34}}Js)(3\times {{10}^{8}}m\,{{s}^{-1}})}{(1.9\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}})}\] \[=6.5\times {{10}^{-7}}m\]
