Solar Cell Experiement

This experiment was done to understand the relationship between the distance and wavelengths of light (distance of the flashlight) and the voltage output of the cell.

The first thing we did was found the effect that the distance had on the voltage output. We were able to do this by altering the distance of the flashlight from the solar cell. We started at 0 CM, and we continued to move the flashlight away by 2cm each trial. We were able to find that the closer the cell was the higher the voltage output.

Next, we measures the effect that wavelengths had on the voltage output. We did this by placing different colored films on the solar cell and carried out the same experiment. We found that the pink filter was the one that resulted in the highest out put and the red filter was the lowest.
