Can an ultraviolet light or infrared muted source power a solar cell?
If it can or cannot can you explain why? I need to know this for my science project on renewable get-up-and-go
Answers:
yes
Yes if it is designed in that route generally a solar mobile has a low value of getting energy from UV standard lamp or IR radiations because it is designed for getting energy from noticeable radiaton.
for example if you take a vehicle there is a difference within between a normal vehicle and a racing motor in like way it depends on the design you craft for that battery.
It depends on what material the solar cell is made from. If it's silicon (the most common) later the answer is yes.
A minimum energy is required to convert photons (light particles/wave packets) to electricity. As long as the photon have more than that energy after it will make electricity. For silicon, the minimum animation is in the infra red region, so IR will create power. Visible flimsy is more energetic than IR, and UV more than distinct. So these will also create power. But for one photon arriving, only one electron of a specific voltage is produced. Even though UV photons enjoy enough activeness to create many such electrons, they merely produce one and the rest of the energy is worthless as heat. That is why simple solar cell are not very restructured.
