Question:medium

What is the maximum wavelength of EM radiation required to move an electron from the valence band to conduction band of a semiconductor? [Given: Energy gap \( E_g = 1.98 \times 10^{-19} \, J \); Planck's constant \( h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, Js \)]

Show Hint

Maximum wavelength corresponds to minimum energy required (band gap energy).
