View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A heavily doped p-n junction in forward biased
Option B (A heavily doped p-n junction in forward biased) is correct because LEDs require a heavily doped p-n junction to enhance radiative recombination and are forward biased to allow current flow and light emission.

Assertion: A P-N photodiode is made from a semiconductor for which Eg=2.8eV\mathrm{Eg}=2.8 \mathrm{eV}. This photodiode will not detect the wavelength of 6000 nm6000 \mathrm{~nm}.

Reason: A PN photodiode detects wavelength I if hcλ>Eg\frac{h c}{\lambda} > E_g
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason doesn't fully explain the assertion. The photodiode won't detect the wavelength because the photon energy is less than the band gap energy, and the reason correctly states the condition for detection.
