When an electron jumps from the valence shell to the conduction band, it leaves a gap. What is the gap called?
(a) energy gap (b) electron - hole pair (c) Recombination (d) Hole
Answer (2)
When an electron jumps from the valence shell to the conduction band, it leaves behind a vacancy called a 'hole'. This phenomenon leads to the formation of an electron-hole pair, crucial in semiconductor physics. The correct answer is (b) electron - hole pair. ;
When an electron moves from the valence shell to the conduction band, it leaves behind a 'hole'. This creates an electron-hole pair, and the correct answer is (b) electron - hole pair.
