Answer 1

Answer:

When a small amount of external energy in the form of light is applied to the semiconductor, the valence electrons gain enough energy to break the bonding with the parent atom and they jumps into the conduction band. ... Thus, the electric current in the semiconductor increases with the increase in the light energy.
