← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when defects alter silicon LED's band?
A)Recombination lowers light-emission efficiency✓
B)Increased conductivity enhances radiative output
C)Blue-shift raises peak light frequency
D)Phosphorescence causes sustained afterglow emission
💡 Explanation
Increased lattice defects create energy states within the band gap, thereby, increasing electron-hole recombination, lowering radiative emission; therefore, LEDs produce less light rather than enhanced emission because defects act recombination centers.
