In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements an Reason is correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct satements but Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is correct statement.
Assertion (A) Semiconductors are solids with conductivities in the intermediate range from 10−6−104ohm−1m−1.
Reason (R) Intermediate conductivity in semiconductor is due to partially filled valence band.
(c) The assertion is the correct statement but the reason is an incorrect statement.
Semiconductors are solids with conductivities in the intermediate range varies from 10−6 to 104Ω−1m−1 intermediate conductivity is due to the small energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band.
