Explaining the formation of
depletion layer and potential barrier 1+1
Feature of junction diode for its use as rectifier 1

When an electron diffuses from n-side to p-side, it leaves behind an

ionized donor on n side.
Similarly when a hole diffuses from p-side to n-side, it leaves behind an
ionized acceptor on p side.
This space charge region consisting of immobile ions on either side of the
junction is known as depletion layer. 1
As diffusion process continues width of depletion layer increases and
consequently strength of electric field increases across the junction and
thus the drift current.
The potential that prevents the movement of electron from n region into p 1
region is called potential barrier.

Note : Award 1 mark if formation of depletion layer is shown with

the help of above diagram.

Diode allows current to pass only when it is forward biased as resistance 1

is small whereas in reverse bias resistance is very large. 3
Alternatively: Diode is unidirectional.

Reason for
(a) Independence of maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons
& intensity of incident radiation 1
(b) Increase in photoelectric current with increase in intensity
of incident radiation 1
(c) Linear variation in stopping potential with frequency of
incident radiation 1
1
(a) With the variation in the intensity of incident radiations, there is a
change in the number of photons not on the energies of the photons so the 1
maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons remains same.

(b)With the increase in intensity of incident radiation number of photons 1

increases as a result photoelectric current increase.

(c) With the increase in frequency of incident radiation , the maximum

kinetic energy of photoelectrons increases. Hence higher value of 1
stopping potential (retarding potential) is required.
