Question 342

Which of these materials is most commonly used to create photoconductive devices?

  1. Polyphenol acetate
  2. Argon
  3. Crystalline semiconductorCorrect answer
  4. All these choices are correct

Explanation

Photoconductive cells are made from crystalline semiconductors such as cadmium sulfide, because only a semiconductor has a band gap small enough for visible light to free charge carriers in it. Argon is an inert gas and polyphenol acetate is not a photoconductor, so the combined answer fails with them.
