Abstract

Many simple concepts that we introduce in optics could lead to laboratory work if we had access to photodetectors that could give a quick voltage or current response proportional to the light intensity. The device described here is easily constructed from readily available parts at a cost of about $2.00 and can be used with any light source and any conventional voltmeter.
