Abstract
In this chapter you will learn how to sense the intensity of light in your close environment. In order to do that you will need another new component, called a photoresistor or light dependent resistor (LDR). I will explain the operating principle of this component later in the section “The Parts.” But first you’ll need to understand the description of light itself.
