The energy of a photon of sodium light $(\lambda = 589 \text{ nm})$ is equal to the band gap of a semiconductor. Find the minimum energy $E$ in $eV$ required to create an electron-hole pair.

Which of the following components acts as a complete electronic circuit?

In which of the following circuits is the diode in reverse bias?

Which of the following $p-n$ junction devices is not used in reverse bias?

Arvind needs to identify the electrical components from a group of components labelled as $A, B, C$ and $D$. He performed some simple tests and obtained the following observations:
$(a)$ $A$ has a silver ring at one end,with two terminals. It conducts electricity only in one direction.
$(b)$ $B$ is connected to a $D.C.$ source,but the current gradually decreases and becomes zero. It is a two-terminal device and behaves the same in both directions.
$(c)$ $C$ is a two-terminal device,which conducts electricity only in one direction,while emitting light.
$(d)$ $D$ is a two-terminal device with several coloured rings on it. It conducts current in both directions with the same steady current.
The correct identification of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are respectively:
