Band gap Eg = 2.8 eV
Energy band gap corresponding to wavelength 6000 nm is given by
Eg = \(\frac{hc}{λ} = \frac{6.62\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^8}{6000\times10^{-9}}J\)
= \(\frac{19.86\times10^{-26}}{6\times10^{-6}\times11.6\times10^{-19}}eV\)
= \(\frac{19.86}{9.6}\times10^{-1}\) = 0.207eV
Since Eg , < Eg , so it can not detect a wave length of 6000 nm
