Which outcome occurs when a semiconductor's temperature increases, impacting its minimum photon absorption?

💡 Explanation

The semiconductor band gap narrows because increased temperature enhances electron-phonon interactions causing band gap renormalization, therefore absorption increases. The band gap shrinks, rather than remaining static, because thermal energy disrupts lattice periodicity.
