\mathrm{p-n} photodiode is a semiconductor diode that produces a significant current when illuminated. It is reversed biased but is operated below the breakdown voltage.

\mathrm{\text{Energy of radiation = band gap energy}}

\mathrm{\text { i.e., } h \mathrm{v} =2.0 \mathrm{eV} }

\mathrm{\text { or } \mathrm{v} =\frac{2.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34}} \approx 5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz} }

Hence option 2 is correct.
