Statement I: A 
junction with reverse bias can be used as a photodiode to measure light intensity.
Statement II: In a reverse bias condition the current is small but is more sensitive to changes in incident light intensity.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
A photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light into current. The current is generated when photons are absorbed in the photodiode. For this purpose, a 
junction diode is reversed biased.
