The resistance of LDR increases when light is not available (or is limited). And the resistance drops when Light is abundant.
This principle can be used in proximity detectors where one or more light source(s) is/are active. When a person / object comes in proximity of the source, the light gets reflected from the object-surface & can now be received by LDR. So due to proximity of the object, resistance of LDR changes - this can be used to trigger different actions like open the door, trigger a motor. Fire an alarm. etc.
Resistance of LDR varies according to intensity of incident light over it,It is used in street light to detect day/night and turn on/off the street light automatically

What is the symbol of an LDR?
The symbol of a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) is typically represented as a rectangle with two arrows pointing towards it, indicating light. Sometimes it is drawn as a resistor symbol with a diode symbol next to it, or simply as a rectangle with the letters "LDR" labeled. This representation highlights its function as a resistor whose resistance changes based on the amount of light it receives.
What is a LDR dependent AC dimmer?
The LDR dependent AC dimmer is a Light Dependent Resistor which works by chopping off the parts of the AC voltage.
What is the function of light- dependent reactions?
Build sugar
What is the function of the photosynthetic system?
To take CO2 from the air and turn it into oxygen that we can breathe. Their are light dependent and independent reactions.
How do you make Light-dependent- resistance circuit?
A Light Dependent Resistor (aka LDR, photoconductor, or photocell) is a device which has a resistance which varies according to the amount of light falling on its surface.A typical light dependent resistor is pictured above together with (on the right hand side) its circuit diagram symbol. Different LDR's have different specifications, however the LDR's we sell in the REUK Shop are fairly standard and have a resistance in total darkness of 1 MOhm, and a resistance of a couple of kOhm in bright light (10-20kOhm @ 10 lux, 2-4kOhm @ 100 lux).Uses for Light Dependent ResistorsLight dependent resistors are a vital component in any electric circuit which is to be turned on and off automatically according to the level of ambient light - for example, solar powered garden lights, and night security lighting. An LDR can even be used in a simple remote control circuit using the backlight of a mobile phone to turn on a device - call the mobile from anywhere in the world, it lights up the LDR, and lighting (or a garden sprinkler) can be turned on remotely!Light Dependent Resistor CircuitsThere are two basic circuits using light dependent resistors- the first is activated by darkness, the second is activated by light. The two circuits are very similar and just require an LDR, some standard resistors, a variable resistor (aka potentiometer), and any small signal transistor In the circuit diagram above, the LED lights up whenever the LDR is in darkness. The 10K variable resistor is used to fine-tune the level of darkness required before the LED lights up. The 10K standard resistor can be changed as required to achieve the desired effect, although any replacement must be at least 1Kto protect the transistor from being damaged by excessive current.By swapping the LDR over with the 10K and 10K variable resistors (as shown above), the circuit will be activated instead by light. Whenever sufficient light falls on the LDR (manually fine-tuned using the 10K variable resistor), the LED will light up.Using an LDR in the Real WorldThe circuits shown above are not practically useful. In a real world circuit, the LED (and resistor) between the positive voltage input (Vin) and the collector (C) of the transistor would be replaced with the device to be powered. Typically a relay is used - particularly when the low voltage light detecting circuit is used to switch on (or off) a 240V mains powered device. A diagram of that part of the circuit is shown above. When darkness falls (if the LDR circuit is configured that way around), the relay is triggered and the 240V device - for example a security light - switches on.NEW For details of a more advanced light/dark sensor circuit click here to read our new article LM741 Light/Dark Sensor Circuit.

Is Light dependent resistor an example of resistor?
yes, a variable resistor
What is an LDR symbol?
An LDR is a Light dependent resistor.
Who invented light dependent resistor?
K. K.
What is the function of an LDR or a TDR in an circuit?
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.
In technology what does LDR stand for?
LDR stands for Light Dependent Resistor. It is a type of resistor that changes its resistance based on the amount of light that falls on it. This change in resistance allows LDRs to be used in light-sensitive applications, such as automatic lighting controls.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of light dependent resistor?

What is the meaning of LDR?
LDR refers to Light Dependent Resistor.
Who invented the light dependent resistor?
J.B. Gunn is credited with the invention of the light dependent resistor in the early 20th century. It was initially developed for military applications during World War II.

Materials required to study light dependent resistors?
a resistor , two multimeter ,
What is a light dependent resister?
As light falls on the conductor then emission of electrons would increase the conductivity and so its resistivity decreases. Such a conductor is known as light dependent resistor.
