At T = 300 K, the band gap and the intrinsic carrier concentration of GaAs are 1.42 eV and 106 cm−3, respectively. In order to generate electron hole pairs in GaAs, which one of the wavelength (λC) ranges of incident radiation, is most suitable? (Given that: Plank's constant is 6.62 × 10−34 J-s, velocity of light is 3 × 1010 cm/s and charge of electron is 1.6 × 10−19 C)
A
0.42 μm < λC < 0.87 μm
B
0.87 μm < λC < 1.42 μm
C
1.42 μm < λC < 1.62 μm
D
1.62 μm < λC < 6.62 μm
