Question 125 of 209

LED is constructed from Ga−As−PGa-As-P semiconducting material. The energy gap of this LED is 1.9eV1.9eV. Calculate the wavelength of light emitted and its colour. h=6.63×10−34J−sh=6.63\times {10}^{-34}J-s and c=3×108ms−1c=3\times {10}^{8}m{s}^{-1}

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 654nm654nm and red colour

λ=hcE=6.6×10−34×3×1081.9×1.6×10−19=6.54×10−7\lambda =\dfrac{hc}{E}=\dfrac{6.6\times {10}^{-34}\times 3\times {10}^{8}}{1.9\times 1.6\times {10}^{-19}}=6.54\times {10}^{-7}
=654nm=654nm
Red color
