Is the power output of a solar cell proportional to the sine angle between the incident light and the face of the power cell?
The experiment that will be conducted is to see whether or not that there is any connection between the sine angle of light and the power output of a solar cell.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis for my experiment is that the power output of a solar cell is directly proportional to the sine of the angle between the incident light and the face of the solar cell.
The sine of the angle of incidence and the face of the solar cells direction α to the power out put
OR
Sin θ α Pout where θ equals angle of incidence
Prediction
I predict that the results, when plotted on a graph, will show a strong positive correlation between the total power output of the solar cell that is proportional to the sine of the angle at which the light is shone at the solar cell.
Variables
Any Indirect light coming from another light source could affect the experiment.
