NEET PHYSICSEasy

In the energy band diagram of a material shown below, the open circles and filled circles denote holes and electrons respectively. The material is a/an:

A

p-type semiconductor

B

insulator

C

metal

D

n-type semiconductor

Step-by-Step Solution

Although the specific energy band diagram is missing from the question text, it relies on identifying a material based on its charge carrier concentration. In a p-type semiconductor, holes (represented by open circles) are the majority charge carriers, and electrons (represented by filled circles) are the minority charge carriers. An energy band diagram for a p-type semiconductor would show a significantly higher number of holes in the valence band compared to the number of electrons in the conduction band.
