Chapter 12, Problem 94E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The authenticity of the given statement, “if you want a semiconductor that emits blue light, you could either use a material that has a band gap corresponding to the energy of a blue photon’ is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The energy of the color of a substance is the energy complementary to absorbed energy by the substance.

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement “if you want a semiconductor that emits blue light, you could either use a material that has a band gap corresponding to the energy of a blue photon’.
