light dependent resistors are those whose resistivity increases with decrease in the amount of light being exposed on them. The darker the environment, the higher the resistivity.

What is the principle of operation of LDR?
Working of light dependent resistor This circuit explains the principle of operation of LDR (light dependence resistor). The circuit has various applications like shadow alarm, automatic night/morning lamp. LDR, an acronym for light dependent resistor is a resistor whose resistance is dependent on light. The resistance of LDR is of the order of Mega Ohms in the absence of light and reduces to a few ohms in presence of light. In this circuit when the light falls on LDR, the resistance of LDR becomes low and the entire voltage drop takes place across the variable resistance VR1 (10K). As a result the base of transistor (T1) gets high input and it gets biased thereby glowing the LED. When no light falls on LDR, the resistance of LDR becomes high so almost entire voltage drop takes place across it and the base of transistor is at low potential. So transistor does not gets biased nor it becomes conducting, hence switching off the LED. The sensitivity of the circuit can be adjusted by varying the preset VR1.

What is the symbol for LDR Holding Corporation in NASDAQ?
The symbol for LDR Holding Corporation in NASDAQ is: LDRH.
In what year did LDR Holding Corporation - LDRH - have its IPO?
LDR Holding Corporation (LDRH) had its IPO in 2013.
What happens to an LDR when a bright light is shined upon it?
When LDR is exposed to light energy . Due to light energy incident on LDR surface, free electron movement of an atom is increased in LDR. This causes high conduction of curent flowing through LDR. beause of free electron movement in LDR, resitance get decreased.
What is the principle of ldr?
idol worship. similar in almost each and every way to the greek religion, except the gods were named differently. the most important ones were named after planets

What is the market cap for LDR Holding Corporation LDRH?

How does light affect LDR?
An LDR is a light dependent resistor, which is usually used to detect light levels, either ambient or reflected. The LDR works because incoming light carries energy, which can elevate the energy levels of electrons in a suitable medium to join the 'conduction band' which means that there are more charge carriers in the LDR, and hence the cell has lower resistance.
