In a semiconductor, separation between conduction and valence band  is of the order of 


A) 0eV

B) 1eV

C) 10eV

D) 50eV

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In conductor separation between conduction and valence bands is zero and in the insulator, it is greater than 1eV.

Hence, in semiconductor, the separation between conduction and valence band is $1eV'$
