This is a  Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Explanation- E=hc/ λ = 6.6 * 10 - 34 * 3 * 10 8 6000 * 10 - 10 * 1.6 * 10 - 19 = 2.06eV

The incident radiation which is detected by the photodiode having energy should be greater

Than the band-gap. So, it is only valid for diode D2.Then, diode D2 will detect this radiation.
