← ScienceWhich outcome arises when electrons pass a semiconductor junction?
A)Minority carrier injection occurs✓
B)Complete electron wave function collapse
C)Majority carriers undergo electrostatic shielding
D)Electron's average de Broglie wavelengthens
💡 Explanation
Minority carrier injection occurs because thermal agitation overcomes the potential barrier, facilitating electron diffusion across the junction; therefore current flows as a result, rather than blocking the electron's movement due to pure drift alone.
