Read the following case/passage and answer the questions:
Electromagnetic radiation is a natural phenomenon found in almost all areas of daily life, from radio waves to sunlight
to x-rays. Laser radiation-like all light - is also a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation that has a
wavelength between 380 nm and 780 nm is visible to the human eye and is commonly referred to as light. At
wavelengths longer than 780 nm, optical radiation is termed infrared (IR) and is invisible to the eye. At wavelengths
shorter than 380 nm, optical radiation is termed ultraviolet (UV) and is also invisible to the eye. The term "laser light"
refers to a much broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum than just the visible spectrum, anything between 150
nm up to 11000 nm (i.e. from the UV up to the far IR). The term laser is an acronym that stands for "light amplification
by stimulated emission of radiation".
Einstein explained the stimulated emission. In an atom, an electron may move to a higher energy level by absorbing a
photon. When the electron comes back to the lower energy level it releases the same photon. This is called spontaneous
emission. This may also so happen that the excited electron absorbs another photon, releases two photons, and returns
to the lower energy state. This is known as stimulated emission. Laser emission is therefore a light emission whose
energy is used, in lithotripsy, for targeting and ablating the stone inside the human body organ.
A Uniform medical usage, the laser is used for the optical disk drive, printer, barcode reader, etc.

What is the full form of LASER?

1) Light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation
2) Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
3) Light amplification by simultaneous emission of radiation
4) Light amplified by synchronous emission of radiation
Correct Option - 2

Que. 42
The "stimulated emission" is the process of :
1) release of a photon when the electron comes back from a higher to lower energy level.
2) release of two photons by absorbing one photon when the electron comes back from a higher to lower energy level.
3) absorption of a photon when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level.

Read the following case/passage and answer the questions:
Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a heavily doped p-n junction that under forwarding bias emits spontaneous radiation.
The diode is encapsulated with a transparent cover so that emitted light can come out. When the diode is forward
biased, electrons are sent from n → p (where they are minority carriers) and holes are sent from p → n (where they are
minority carriers). At the junction boundary, the concentration of minority carriers increases as compared to the
equilibrium concentration (i.e., when there is no bias).
Thus at the junction boundary on either side of the junction, excess minority carriers are there which recombine with
majority carriers near the junction. On recombination, the energy is released in the form of photons. Photons with
energy equal to or slightly less than the bandgap are emitted. When the forward current of the diode is small, the
intensity of light emitted is small. As the forward current increases, the intensity of light increases and reaches a
maximum. Further, an increase in the forward current results in a decrease in light intensity. LEDs are biased such that
the light-emitting efficiency is maximum.
The V-I characteristics of a LED are similar to that of an a-Si junction diode. But, the threshold voltages are much
higher and slightly different for each color. The reverse breakdown voltages of LED's are very low, typically around 5
V. So care should be taken that high reverse voltages do appear across them. LEDs that can emit red, yellow, orange,
green, and blue light are co officially available.

LED is a:
1) lightly doped p-n junction diode.
2) heavily doped p-n junction diode.
3) moderately doped p-n junction diode.
4) two back to back p-n junction diode.
