MCQ
A photo cell is a device which:
- AAbsorbs light and produces a stream of electrons
- BAbsorb a stream of electron and produces light
- CConverts protons into photons
- DConverts photons into protons
✓
Answer
- Absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons
Explanation:
Photocell is a device which converts light energy into electrical energy. In photocell concave metallic cathode absorbs photons from incident light waves and emits electron from the metal surface towards anode.
In other words, it absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons.
