Answer:

[tex]10^{20}\frac{cm^{-3}}{sec}[/tex]

Explanation:

The recombination rate is denoted by R it is the ratio of excess carrier concentration and life time

The recombination rate R is given by [tex]R=\frac{\Delta n}{\tau _n}[/tex]

We have given excess carrier concentration = [tex]10^{14}cm^-3[/tex]

Life time [tex]\tau _n=10^{-6}sec[/tex]

So recombination rate [tex]R=\frac{\Delta n}{\tau _n}=\frac{10^{14}}{10^{-6}}=10^{20}\frac{cm^{-3}}{sec}[/tex]
