Solution

When a diode is forward-biased, the recombination of free electrons and holes can produce:

  1. Heat: The movement of electrons from the n-type material to the p-type material and the movement of holes in the opposite direction can generate heat due to the resistance of the material.

  2. Light: In certain types of diodes, such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), the recombination of electrons and holes can emit photons, which we perceive as light.

  3. Radiation: The recombination of electrons and holes can also produce electromagnetic radiation. In most diodes, this radiation is in the form of heat (infrared radiation). However, in LEDs, the radiation is in the form of visible light.

So, the answer is "All of the
