Reverse Recovery Time Explained: Simple Guide

[M. next]

I really tried to read about it, but I just don't get it? What does it mean in simple-language?
What is (storage time) & (transition interval)?
Elaborate Please!

[It is included in diode introductory lesson]

Well, I can speak for reverse recovery time, only in the context I have seen it.

It is the amount of time it takes for current to stop flowing, once the diode becomes reverse biased in the circuit.
