Below the diode's Forward Voltage (Vf) typically 0.7V, the curve is at (roughly) zero. At around 0.5 it begins to curve upward, and at around 0.7V, the voltage drop is almost constant (the curve heads straight upwards to infinity). See link.

What happen of a a diode When forward-biased?
when a diode is forward biased it conducts current
Approximate voltage across the forward-biased base emitter?
The approximate voltage across the forward-biased base-emitter junction is 0.7 volts.
How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
Why semiconductor photo-diodes are reverse biased?
Because if you forward-biased them they would always conduct, even in total darkness.
Why is the current nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4 v in a forward biased silicon diode?
The current is nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4v in a forward biased silicon diode because of the small forward-bias voltage.
What are the characteristics of forward bias?
characteristics of forward biased
What are the vi characteristics of ideal diodes?
Zero current flow when reverse biased, zero voltage drop when forward biased.

How much voltage is there across a silicon diode when it is forward biased?
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
Is light emitting diodes emit visible light when forward biased?
It depends on the particular LED. Some of them emit infrared light. But, yes, emission occurs when forward-biased.
Is less than or greater than zero external voltage applied on diode when you deal with forward biased?
A forward-biased diode has a positive DC on its anode with respect to its cathode.
How is a non-conducting diode biased?
A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).
Zener diode with its forward biase?
