Maximum detectable wavelength of a photoresistor

In summary, the maximum detectable wavelength of a photoresistor depends on its material and construction, with a typical range of 1100 nanometers. As the maximum detectable wavelength increases, the sensitivity decreases due to lower energy levels. This wavelength cannot be changed, but different types of photoresistors can detect different ranges. The maximum detectable wavelength and bandgap energy are inversely related, and this parameter is important in choosing the right photoresistor for different applications. Longer wavelengths may require a higher maximum detectable wavelength, while shorter wavelengths may require a lower one to achieve high sensitivity.

to increase maximum detectable wavelength of a photoresistor which is equal to
planck's constant/ semiconductor energy gap , we need to decrease the energy gap only

planck's constant cannot be increased or decreased, right?

Planck's constant can be considered just as constant as pi is.
