Which outcome occurs in a silicon photodiode when exposed to light at its designed wavelength?

💡 Explanation

When light strikes the photodiode, electron-hole pairs are generated; the *photovoltaic effect* causes increased reverse current to flow because photons excite electrons across the bandgap providing additional carriers, therefore increased current, rather than a clamping effect.
