Chapter 29 Problem 49

Question

A TV remote control emits IR light. If the detector on the TV set is not to react to visible light, could it make use of silicon as a window with its energy gap What is the shortest-wavelength light that can strike silicon without causing electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A TV remote control emits IR light. If the detector on the TV set is not to react to visible light, could it make use of silicon as a window with its energy gap What is the shortest-wavelength light that can strike silicon without causing electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band?
From the textbook chapter Molecules and Solids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
