A L.D.R is a light dependant resistor
A photo resistor or Light Dependent Resistor or CDS Cell is an electronic component whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity. It can also be referred to as a photo conductor.
A photo resistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor. If light falling on the device is of high enough frequency, photons absorbed by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electron (and its hole partner) conduct electricity, thereby lowering resistance.
A photoelectric device can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. An intrinsic semiconductor has its own charge carriers and is not an efficient semiconductor, egg. silicon. In intrinsic devices, the only available electrons are in the valence band, and hence the photon must have enough energy to excite the electron across the entire band gap. Extrinsic devices have impurities added, which have a ground state energy closer to the conduction band - since the electrons don't have as far to jump, lower energy photons (i.e. longer wavelengths and lower frequencies) are sufficient to trigger the device. If a sample of silicon has some of its atoms replaced by phosphorus atoms(impurities), there will be extra electrons available for conduction.
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.

The function of an LDR or light dependent resistor is to change the brightness of the light based weather conditions or light hitting the object the LDR is on. When it is darker out, the light does not shine as brightly.

An LDR is a Light dependent resistor.
LDR refers to Light Dependent Resistor.
Light Dependent Resistor LDR also means long distance relationship.
The symbol for LDR Holding Corporation in NASDAQ is: LDRH.
LDR Holding Corporation (LDRH) had its IPO in 2013.

As the light intensity increases, the resistance of an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) decreases. This means that the LDR becomes more conductive and allows more current to flow through it. Conversely, when the light intensity decreases, the resistance of the LDR increases, reducing the current flowing through it.
The decrease of light intensity on an LDR will cause the resistance of the LDR to increase, which will result in a decrease in current flow through the circuit. As a result, the ammeter reading will decrease.
When light falls on an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), more photons are absorbed by the semiconductor material in the LDR, causing more electron-hole pairs to be generated. This increases the conductivity of the material, resulting in a decrease in resistance. Hence, the resistance of an LDR decreases with an increase in light intensity.
An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) decreases its resistance when exposed to bright light due to the increase in photons striking its surface, allowing more current to flow through it. This change in resistance can be used to detect light levels and trigger corresponding actions in electronic circuits.
