What element is found in photocells?

Silicon is commonly found in photocells, also known as photovoltaic cells, because it exhibits properties that make it efficient for converting light into electricity. Other elements, such as indium, gallium, and selenium, can also be found in some types of photocells to enhance their performance.


What is a group of photocells that react to a broad range of light rays?

An array of photocells that respond to a wide range of light rays is called a photodiode array. This array consists of multiple individual photodiodes that can detect light within a broad spectrum of wavelengths. These arrays are commonly used in various applications such as digital cameras and light sensors.


What is the use of selenium photocells?

Because of its photovoltaic and photoconductive properties, selenium is used in photocopying, photocells, light meters and solar cells. Its use as a photoconductor in plain-paper copiers once was a leading application but in the 1980s, the photoconductor application declined (although it was still a large end-use) as more and more copiers switched to the use of organic photoconductors. It was once widely used in selenium rectifiers.


Can you wire a photocell to work at night instead of during the day?

Photocells are designed to work at night when it gets dark and turn off in the morning when it gets lighter. If the photocell is on during the day then it is not working the way it was designed to. Time to get a new one.


Does selenium have any effect with light?

Selenium does not directly interact with light. However, selenium is used in the production of photocells, which convert light energy into electrical energy. Selenium can also be used in some photovoltaic applications to generate electricity from sunlight.
