Answer: The average distance the electron can travel in microns is 1.387um/s

Explanation: The average distance the electron can travel is the distance an exited electron can travel before it joins together. It is also called the diffusion length of that electron.

It is gotten, using the formula below

Ld = √DLt

Ld = diffusion length

D = Diffusion coefficient

Lt = life time

Where

D = 25cm2/s

Lt = 7.7

CONVERT cm2/s to um2/s

1cm2/s = 100000000um2/s

Therefore D is

25cm2/s = 2500000000um2/s = 2.5e9um2/s

Ld = √(2.5e9 × 7.7) = 138744.37um/s

Ld = 1.387e5um/s

This is the average distance the excited electron can travel before it recombine
