Which outcome occurs when high energy photons strike a silicon photodiode?

💡 Explanation

Electron-hole pairs cause increased conductivity because carriers are generated via the photoelectric effect. Incident photons create electron-hole pairs allowing current to flow through the device, therefore conductivity increases, rather than voltage collapse or magnetic change, which are influenced by different external factors.
