Which one of the following statements is true for a Light Emitting Diode (LED)?
- 1It emits light when electrons are accelerated by the high electric field in the depletion region under reverse bias.
- 2It emits light due to the heating effect caused by electron collisions with atoms.
- 3It emits light under forward bias when electrons are injected from the n-region to the p-region and holes from the p-region to the n-region.✓
- 4It emits light when both electrons and holes are injected from the n-region to the p-region.
Correct answer
It emits light under forward bias when electrons are injected from the n-region to the p-region and holes from the p-region to the n-region.
