← ScienceWhich outcome results when a photon's energy matches a semiconductor's band gap?
A)Electron-hole pair generation occurs✓
B)Increased phonon scattering arises
C)Material becomes more thermally conductive
D)Auger recombination process is suppressed
💡 Explanation
Electron-hole pair generation occurs because photon absorption prompts electron transition across the band gap according to quantum mechancis. Therefore, electrons relocate into conduction band, rather than prompting phonon scattering, where thermal vibration is the primary cause.
