Assertion: $A$ $p-n$ junction with reverse bias can be used as a photo-diode to measure light intensity.
Reason: In a reverse bias condition,the current is small but is more sensitive to changes in incident light intensity.

The photocurrent in a photodiode depends on

Consider a situation in which reverse biased current of a particular $P-N$ junction increases when it is exposed to light of wavelength $\lambda \le 621 \, nm$. During this process,enhancement in carrier concentration takes place due to the generation of hole-electron pairs. The value of the band gap is nearly (in $eV$):
