The photoelectric effect has many applications. Perhaps the most critical application is the photocell, which is used in building solar cells. A photocell transforms light into electrical energy by producing voltage. As such, they can be used as sensors to detect light [2,3,4]. A solar cell contains a semiconductor material which can be silicon.
We delve into the photovoltaic effect, which is at the heart of solar cell functionality, converting sunlight directly into electrical energy. The basic structure and operation of solar cells are elucidated, including the role of semiconductor materials and their interaction with incident light to generate electron–hole pairs.
The photoelectric effect is associated with various fields of physics. Figure 1 delineates the significance of the phenomenon in various fields of physics. First and foremost, this phenomenon is a main topic of optics, which studies the behaviour of light.
The current produced in a solar cell is directly proportional to the intensity of radiation and is governed by the photoelectric effect, i.e., with an increase in the intensity, the current increases. However, an increase in the temperature of the solar cell reduces its voltage.
According to the wave model of light, the energy of light is related to the intensity of light. Therefore, if the intensity of light is sufficient, the photoelectric effect should occur regardless of the frequency of light.
No matter how weak the light intensity is, the photoelectric effect occurs immediately as long as the light frequency is higher than the threshold frequency. However, according to the wave model of light, it takes a certain amount of time for electrons to accumulate energy to escape from the metal.
