Experimental Set-up

Circuit design concept

The circuit consists of a simple potential divider, with a resistor and a photodiode. By exposing the photodiode to visual noise tags, such as the flickering of LEDs, the output voltage The LDR’s resistance is a function of light exposure. The resistance is reciprocally proportional to light intensity. Thus, by exposing the LDR to any of the visual noise tags (e.g. the flickering buttons on the screen of your computer) The output voltage mimics the behavior of the flickering pattern.

Variables

The performance of the photodiode will be determined by varying the following parameters: 1. Wavelength of LED 2. Resistor in circuit 3. Frequency of blinking

The dependent variables that will be measured are: 1.

This will allow us to determine the following parameters: 1. Efficiency (Time decay) of photodiode at different wavelengths
