Carbon, silicon and germanium have four valence electrons each. These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band gap respectively equal to `( E _(g))_(c ) , ( E_(g))_(Si ) ` and `( E_(g ))_(G e ) ` .Which of the following statements is true ? (a) `(E_(g))_(Si) lt ( E_(g))_(Ge ) lt ( E_(g))_(C ) ` (b) `( E_(g))_(C ) lt ( E_(g))_(Ge ) gt (E_(g))_(Si)` (c ) `(E_(g))_(C ) gt ( E_(g))_(SI) gt ( E_(g))_(Ge ) ` (d) `( E_(g))_(C ) = ( E_(g))_(Si) = ( E_(g))_(Ge ) ` |
