B)energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the size
C)energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the square of size
D)energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the square of size

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantum confinement leads to an increase in the energy gap as the size of the semiconductor decreases, specifically proportional to the inverse of the square of the size.
