Question 5 of 10 Which event happens in a solar cell when the photoelectric effect occurs? A. The wave model of light is supported but the particle model is not B. A current forms when electromagnetic waves strike a semiconductor, removing some of its electrons. C. Electromagnetic waves strike the transparent glass on the top of the cell, removing electrons from it. D. Electrons flow from the positively charged semiconductor to the negatively charged one

## Step 1: Understanding the Photoelectric Effect<br />### The photoelectric effect involves the emission of electrons from a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation, such as light.<br />## Step 2: Photovoltaic Effect in Solar Cells<br />### In solar cells, the photovoltaic effect occurs when light photons are absorbed by semiconductor materials, creating electron-hole pairs.<br />## Step 3: Creation of Electron-Hole Pairs<br />### The energy from the light photons excites electrons, creating electron-hole pairs.<br />## Step 4: Formation of Electric Current<br />### The electric field in the junction region of the solar cell causes these electrons to move, generating an electric current.<br />## Step 5: Correct Option Identification<br />### Option B correctly describes the process: "A current forms when electromagnetic waves strike a semiconductor, removing some of its electrons."
