Question
A photodetector is made from a semiconductor In 0.53Ga0.47As with Eg = 0.73 eV. What is the maximum wavelength, which it can detect
Options:
A .  1000 nm
B .  1703 nm
C .  500 nm
D .  173 nm
E .  The frequency of modulated wave varies as frequency of carrier wave
Answer: Option B
:
B
Limiting value of hv is Eg, such that hv = hcλ = Eg
or λ=hcEg=6.63×1034Js×3×108ms10.73×1.6×1019J
= 1703 nm
