Which outcome occurs when a semiconductor’s band gap is illuminated at energies greater than its threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron-hole concentration leads to band to band recombination, creating photons; this is because direct recombination becomes more probable. Therefore, the recombination rate rises rather than thermal conduction increases as this requires lattice vibration.
