Which of the following energy band diagrams shows the $N-$ type semiconductor?

The acceptor level of a $p$-type semiconductor is $6 \ eV$ above the valence band. The maximum wavelength of light which can create a hole would be: (Given $hc = 1242 \ eV \ nm$) (in $nm$)

When a small amount of impurity atoms are added to a semiconductor, then generally its resistivity:

At a temperature of $500 \ K$,the intrinsic electron number density $(n_e)$ and hole number density $(n_h)$ in a pure semiconductor are equal to $1.5 \times 10^{16} \ m^{-3}$. Now,by adding indium impurity,the hole density $(n_h)$ increases to $4.5 \times 10^{22} \ m^{-3}$. This doped semiconductor is:
