36. (a) because they are frozen out and energy required to enter fermi band is not obtained.
 37. (a) as the recieved power is LOW due to decrease in load resistance this decreases SNR
 38. (c) as there will not be any change in load instances i.e the mean deviation
 39. (a) photo diodes operate in reverse biased mode with respect to irradiance.
 40. (b)
 41. (d)
 42. (c)
 43. (b)
 44. (c)
 45. (c) diffusion current is due to opposite charge concentration during reverse bias
 46. (c) the main reason why photodiodes are quite significantly behind major applications
 47. (b)
 48. (c) as it does\'nt obey ohms law
 49. (a) General charge movement from p to n
 50. (a) as temperature increases electrron jump into conduction band making them approximately characterized to n type semiconductors
