Identify the incorrect statement.

  • A
    When a $p-n$ junction diode is forward biased,the width of the depletion region decreases.
  • B
    When a $p-n$ junction diode is reverse biased,the barrier potential increases.
  • C
    $A$ photodiode is operated in the reverse bias.
  • D
    An $LED$ is a lightly doped $p-n$ junction diode which emits spontaneous radiation on forward biasing.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Photodiodes are preferably operated in reverse bias condition for light intensity measurement.
Reason $R$: The current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for a $p-n$ junction diode.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement $-I$: $A$ photodiode operates in reverse bias.
Statement $-II$: The fractional change due to the photo-effects on the minority carrier dominated reverse bias current is more easily measurable than the fractional change in the forward bias current.

Which of the following statements is $NOT$ correct in the case of an $LED$?

The photocurrent in a photodiode depends on

On which principle does the $Vidicon$ work?
