Vedclass · Answer

(D) The energy gap $(E_g)$ of a semiconductor is typically less than $3 eV$. Copper,Iron,and Aluminium are metals (conductors) where the valence and conduction bands overlap,meaning they do not have an energy gap in the traditional sense. Germanium is a semiconductor with an energy gap of approximately $0.7 eV$. Since $0.7 eV < 3 eV$,Germanium is the correct answer.

The energy gap in case of which of the following is less than $ 3 eV $?
