For a light emitting diode (LED) the forbidden energy gap E_(g) between the valence band and conduction band should have a value

Answer»

`E_(g) LT 0.7 `eV
`E_(g) = 1.1` eV
1.1 eV `le E_(g) le 1.8 ` eV
1.8 eV `le E_(g) le 3.1` eV

Solution :As WAVELENGTH of visible light extends from 400 nm to 700 nm and it corresponds to photons of ENERGY VARYING from 1.8 eV to 3.1 eV, hence forbidden energy gap of a semiconducting material used in FABRICATING a LED must lie within this range.
