Question
Mention the important considerations required while fabricating a p-n junction diode to be used as a Light Emitting Diode (LED). What should be the order of band gap of an LED if it is required to emit light in the visible range?
✓
Answer
- It is a heavily doped p-n junction.
- The reverse breakdown voltages of LEDs are very low.
- The semiconductor used for fabrication of visible LEDs must atleast have a band gap of 1.8 eV.

A sphere of mass 20kg is suspended by a metal wire of unstretched length 4m and diameter 1mm. When in equilibrium, there is a clear gap of 2mm between the sphere and the floor. The sphere is gently pushed aside so that the wire makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical and is released. Find the maximum value of $\theta$ so that the sphere does not rub the floor. Young's modulus of the metal of the wire is $ 2.0 \times 10^{11}N/m^2$. Make appropriate approximations.
