لون الضوء المنبعث من قاد is determined by the semiconductor’s band gap energy ([latex]E_g[/latex]). The energy of the emitted photon is approximately equal to [latex]E_g[/latex]. This energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength ([latex]\lambda[/latex]) of the light, according to the Planck-Einstein relation [latex]E_g \approx hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[/latex]. By engineering alloys, the band gap can be precisely tuned to produce different colors.
