The photocell is one kind of sensor, which can be used to allow you to sense light. The main features of photo-cell include these are very small, low-power, economical, very simple to use. Because of these reasons, these are used frequently in gadgets, toys, and appliances. These sensors are frequently referred to as Cadmium-Sulfide (CdS) cells.
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which electrons are ejected from the surface of a metal when light is incident on it. These ejected electrons are called photoelectrons is important to note that the emission of photoelectrons and the kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is dependent on the frequency of the light that is incident on the metal''s surface.
An example photocell is the Advanced Photonix PDV-P5002, shown in Figure 21.2 the dark, this photocell has a resistance of approximately 500 kΩ, and in bright light the resistance drops to approximately 10 kΩ.The PDV-P5002 is sensitive to light in the wavelengths 400-700 nm, approximately the same wavelengths the human eye is responsive to.

Photocurrent. The basic output of a photodiode is current that flows through the device from cathode to anode and is approximately linearly proportional to illuminance. (Keep in mind, though, that the magnitude of the photocurrent is also influenced by the wavelength of the incident light—more on this in the next article.)
