**Ranking Semiconductor Band Gaps by Color**In this example, we will consider four samples of semiconductors, each with a distinct color. Specifically, we will rank these samples in order of increasing band gap based on their colors:- Solid A is orange- Solid B is black- Solid C is white- Solid D is yellowGiven their colors, determine the correct order of these semiconductors from the smallest to the largest band gap.**Options for Ranking Semiconductors by Band Gap:**A. B < A < D < CB. B < D < A < CC. C < D < A < BD. C < A < D < B**Explanation:** Typically, the color of a semiconductor can provide insights into its band gap. Darker colors (e.g., black) generally indicate smaller band gaps, while lighter colors (e.g., white) generally suggest larger band gaps. By considering the colors and their typical association with band gap sizes, you can identify the correct ranking from the provided options.

Consider four of semiconductor samples: solid A is orange, solid B is black, solid C is white, and solid D is yellow. Given their colors, rank these semiconductors in order of increasing band gap.

Describe the difference in band structure between an insulator and a semiconductor. (Explain with diagram) In an insulator the band gap is relatively wide so that, at room temperature, electrons do not have sufficient energy to cross it. There are therefore no electrons in the conduction band. In a semiconductor the band gap is sufficiently narrow for electrons to be able to cross it at room temperatures. The conduction band therefore contains some electrons.
