Question:

A light-emitting diode (LED) has the property that electrons can be excited into the conduction band by the electrical energy from a battery; a photon is emitted when the electron drops back to the valence band. 

(a) If the band gap for this diode is 2.36 eV, what is the wavelength of the light emitted by the LED? 

(b) What color is the light emitted?
