In which of the following the PN junction is used?
Correct answer: A. Solid State detector
- A. Solid State detector
- B. Wilson cloud chamber
- C. GM counter
- D. None of these
Explanation
Whole working of the Solid State Detector is based on PN-junction. It consists of a PN-junction operating in reverse biased condition in which electron-hole pairs are produced by the incident radiations to cause a current pulse which flows through the external circuit.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
