Which outcome results when specific impurities bridge band gaps?

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical conductivity results from extrinsic semiconduction because impurity atoms introduce energy levels within the band gap, allowing electrons to jump to the conduction band; therefore, conductivity rises rather than other optical or thermal effects.
