What is a light emitting diode? Write an advantage of using it over conventional low power lamps. |
| Answer» Solution :Light EMITTING diode : It is a heavily doped P-n junction which under forward BIAS emits spontaneous radiation. (p-n junction diode which emits light when forward) Advantages : (i) Low operational voltage and less power. (ii) Fast action and no warm- up time REQUIRED. (iii) The bandwidth of emitted light is 100 Å to 500 Åor in other WORDS it is nearly (but not exactly) monochromatic. (iv) LONG life and ruggedness. (v) Fast on-off switching capability | |
