Explanation / Answer

1)

Light emitting diode is a p-n junction diode which when activated emits light.

When suitable amount of Voltage is applied , electron-hole combination takes place and energy is released in the form of photons or light. This process is known as electroluminescence. The color of light depends on energy gap.
