Measure the electric current generated by the incident light. It'll drop off with distance. |

For quantitative results one might calibrate the Photo Cell by measuring the current output versus the intensity of the incident light. One should then be able to verify that the output current of the Photo Cell varies as the inverse square of the distance of the Photo Cell from the source as predicted by Einstein's theory of the photoelectric effect which incidentally earned him a Nobel prize in Physics (1921 maybe????). |
