  • The matter of ability of light to shone on it of solar cells


  • strongSolar/strong (or strongphotovoltaic/strong) strongcells/strong convert the strongsun's energy/strong into electricity. Whether they're adorning your calculator or orbiting our planet on satellites, they rely on the the photoelectric effect: the ability of matter to emit electrons when a light is shone on it.


  • In solid-state physics, the work function (sometimes spelled workfunction) is the minimum thermodynamic work (i.e. energy) needed to remove an electron from a solid to a point in the vacuum immediately outside the solid surface.
