Which outcome occurs when a gallium arsenide LED experiences increased temperature?

A)Wider band gap, blueshifted emission
B)Decreased efficiency, redshifted emission
C)Increased carrier mobility, higher intensity
D)Increased voltage drop, stable emission

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature causes increased atomic vibrations, which narrows the semiconductor's band gap via electron-phonon interaction; therefore the emitted light energy decreases, resulting in a redshift rather than a blueshift, because a smaller gap requires less energy.
