Jack Webdale 01/05/2007 Page 1 Proving the lens formula Hypothesis The power output of a solar cell is proportional to the sine of the angle between the incident light and the face of the solar cell. Apparatus I will use the following equipment during me experiment. A Solar Cell - A device used to convert light (photons) into Electric (Voltaic) that can be used to power circuits. A Metre Rule - Will be used to measure the distance between the light source and the solar cell. Will maintain the distance as accurately as possible. It has millimetre units, although large and hard to take a precise measurement in mm. Two Digital MultiMeters - These will serve the purpose of an Ammeter and Voltmeter. Using the different settings they can be used to give 2.d.p readings. A Resistance Box - A device used to serve as a fixed resister, but can serve as many sizes. For this experiment I will set...
