give energy transformations in the following examples
1) solar cell
Answers
Answer:
When photons shine on a solar cell, they are absorbed by the cell. If the photons have enough energy they cause the cell to release electrons. If the photons do not have enough energy, their energy is transformed into heat energy.
Solar photovoltaic technology converts sunlight into direct current electricity by using semiconductors contained in solar panels. When the sun hits the semiconductor material electrons are freed, forming an electric current.Solar energy conversion describes technologies devoted to the transformation of solar energy to other (useful) forms of energy, including electricity, fuel, and heat.[1] It covers light-harvesting technologies including traditional semiconductor photovoltaic devices (PVs), emerging photovoltaics,[2][3][4] solar fuel generation via electrolysis, artificial photosynthesis, and related forms of photocatalysis directed at the generation of energy rich molecules.[
