    What is the internal photoelectric effect?


    *
    Answer

    When the semiconductor material is irradiated with light, due to the absorption of photons, electron-hole pairs, ie, carriers, are excited inside the semiconductor material, causing the electrical conductivity of the object to change or generating a photoelectromotive force. This phenomenon is called internal photoelectricity.effect.
