Questions and Answers

What is the condition for photoexcitation to occur in a semiconductor material?

  • When the energy of the photons is greater than the bandgap energy of the material (correct)
  • When the energy of the photons is less than the bandgap energy of the material
  • When the energy of the photons is equal to the bandgap energy of the material
  • When the energy of the photons is half of the bandgap energy of the material
  • What is the effect of increasing the temperature of a semiconductor material on its electrical conductivity?

  • It increases due to an increase in the thermal energy of the charge carriers (correct)
  • It remains constant as the temperature has no effect on the charge carriers
  • It decreases due to a decrease in the thermal energy of the charge carriers
  • It has a variable effect depending on the type of semiconductor material
  • What is the formula to calculate the energy of a photon?

  • E = hc/λ (correct)
  • E = hc^2/λ
  • E = hc - λ
  • E = hc*λ
