Question

Assertion (A): Gallium arsenide is a direct band semiconductor having faster switching capabilities and high temperature operating capabilities. Reason (R): A substance for which the forbidden energy region is relatively small is called a semiconductor.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is correct explanation
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not explanation
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is incorrect
• D. (A) is incorrect but (R) is correct

Hint:

GaAs → direct bandgap → high-speed electronics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
