Question
A light emitting diode produces light when:Select one:a.an electron undergoes a transition from the valence band to the conduction band.b.an electron decreases its energy when in the valence band.c.an electron undergoes a transition from the conduction band to the valence band.d.an electron increases its energy when in the conduction band.
Solution
The correct answer is:
c. an electron undergoes a transition from the conduction band to the valence band.
In a light emitting diode (LED), when an electron moves from the conduction band (higher energy level) to the valence band (lower energy level), it releases energy in the form of light. This is the basic
