Science Fair Project:Sunlight/Nightlight sensor

Post by deleted-823426 »

From my son:

Hello, I'm doing a Science Fair Project and my topic is a sunlight/nightlight sensor. As part of my project, I'm suppose to ask an expert these questions:

1.Do climates affect the sensor in any way?
2.Can only darkness affect the sensor?
3.How bright would the light bulb be if there was no sunlight?
4.What would happen if you put the circuit with light bulb in everyday objects?
5.Could shade affect the sensor even though there is a little bit of light?
6.Is it just pitch black that affects the sensor?

Would someone be able to help?
Thank you
MadelineB

Hello,

Two things:

(1) please review the guidelines for Science Buddies "interview questions" and reformat your questions accordingly
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8945

(2) your reformatted questions should be posted in the "Interview Requests" forum

Thank you,
Madeline

Thank you. We will post as suggested.

Moderator note: thank you! I have separated the new post so it shows that no expert has replied, just to increase the chances that an expert with the appropriate background will see it. Thanks!
