  • photoresistor - resistance drops with brighter light
  • solarcell - generates voltage when illuminated
  • phototransistor - collector current increases with brighter light
  • photomultiplier - anode current increases with brighter light
  • etc.

Or did you want the physics?

What is the difference between a photodetector and a photodiode?

A photodetector is a device that detects light or other electromagnetic radiation, while a photodiode is a specific type of photodetector that converts light into an electrical signal. In other words, all photodiodes are photodetectors, but not all photodetectors are photodiodes.


What is function of photodetector?

The function of a photodetector is to detect the intensity of laser light and take that information and transfer it to a format usable by other products. A photodector transfers the information into electrical energy.


An instrument used for detection of light?

Spectroscope. Very fun and interesting activity.


What device is used to convert light energy into sound energy?

A photodetector or light sensor is used to convert light energy into electrical signals, which can then be converted into sound using a speaker or headphones. The electrical signals are amplified and converted into sound waves that we can hear.


Is the photocell convert light energy into electrical energy?

Yes. There are three types 1. photo emissive - here as light falls electrons are emitted 2. photo voltaic - here as light falls a voltage is developed 3. photo conductive - here conductivity changes as light falls on it


What is the energy transformation of a traffic light?

A traffic light typically uses electrical energy to power its light bulbs, which convert the electrical energy into light energy. The light energy is then used to signal drivers on the road.


Is there a difference between a photo transducer a photo sensor and a photo electric transducer if there is one what is it?

No There is not much a difference you can draw between a Sensor & a transducer, as both does the same thing of measuring an energy in form & converting it to other form. But a transducer will make an additional effort to convert the energy into measurable electrical form & then then transmitting!!!! Pls coment


What picture represents an object that can convert light to electrical energy?

A solar panel is an object that can convert light to electrical energy.


What detect light pressure?

Photodetectors such as photodiodes and phototransistors are commonly used to detect light pressure. They convert light energy into an electrical signal that can be measured or used for various applications like in optical sensors, cameras, and communication systems. The amount of electrical current generated by the photodetectors is proportional to the intensity of the light falling on them.


What is a photodector?

I think you mean photodetector. It is is a sensor of light or other electromagnetic energy.


Does a light bulb convert electrical enegry into motion?

No
