Abstract
LIKE the thermionic valve, the photoelectric cell has evolved during recent years from an interesting scientific novelty into an instrument of everyday commercial application. In such circumstances a large amount of scientific and technical information is published, and the assimilation of this information presents some difficulty to those not actively engaged in the particular field concerned. A useful paper in this connexion was presented to the Television Society on February 14, entitled âReview of the Theory and Applications of Photoelectric Effectsâ by G. Windred. This paper constitutes a summary of our present knowledge of photoelectric phenomena, with a brief outline of the relevant theory and an indication of some of the applications of modern photoelectric cells.
