Sick Sensors – An introduction to the photoelectric effect of photoelectric sensors
It is a physical phenomenon in which light irradiates certain substances and changes the conductive properties of the substance, which can be divided into three categories: external photoelectric effect, internal photoelectric effect and photogenerated volt effect. The external photoelectric effect refers to the physical emission of electrons from the surface of an object under the action of light.
