$A$ $p-n$ junction photodiode is fabricated from a semiconductor with a band gap of $2.5 eV$. It can detect a signal of wavelength: (Given: Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} Js$,speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$,elementary charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$)

If a semiconductor photodiode can detect a photon with a maximum wavelength of $400\, nm$, then its band gap energy is (Given: Planck's constant $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34}\, J \cdot s$, Speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8}\, m/s$) (in $ eV$)

Three photodiodes $D_1, D_2,$ and $D_3$ are made of semiconductors having band gaps of $2.5 \ eV, 2 \ eV,$ and $3 \ eV,$ respectively. Which ones will be able to detect light of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring{A}$?

Assertion: $A$ $P-N$ junction diode is used in reverse bias to detect the intensity of light.
Reason: In reverse bias condition,current is small but it is more sensitive to changes in intensity of incident light.
