Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
LED (Light Emitting Diode) works on electroluminescence: when electrons recombine with holes in a semiconductor junction, energy is released as photons. This is distinct from incandescence (heating filament, like bulbs), fluorescence (absorb UV, emit visible), or heating effect. Memory aid: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament'. This modern application question tests knowledge of everyday physics, common in competitive exams. Always link device to underlying phenomenon: LED (electroluminescence), laser (stimulated emission), solar cell (photovoltaic effect).
