Questions and Answers

What is photoconductivity?

  • An optical and electrical phenomenon in which a material becomes less electrically conductive due to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation
  • A thermal and electrical phenomenon in which a material becomes less electrically conductive due to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation
  • A mechanical and electrical phenomenon in which a material becomes more electrically conductive due to the emission of electromagnetic radiation
  • An optical and electrical phenomenon in which a material becomes more electrically conductive due to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation (correct)
  • What happens during the internal photo effect?

  • The energy absorbed enables the transition of activator electrons into the conduction band and the charge exchange of traps with holes being created in the valence band (correct)
  • The energy absorbed causes the material to become more insulating
  • The energy absorbed creates more traps in the valence band
  • The energy absorbed disables the transition of activator electrons into the conduction band and the charge exchange of traps with holes being created in the valence band
  • What type of radiation can cause photoconductivity?

  • Visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, and gamma radiations (correct)
  • Gamma radiations, X-rays, visible light, and radio waves
  • Infrared light, ultraviolet light, radio waves, and microwaves
  • X-rays, radio waves, microwave, and ultraviolet light
  • How does light absorption affect the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor?
