Describe, with the help of a circuit diagram, the working of a photodiode.

Sunil and his parents were travelling to their village in their car. On the way his mother noticed some grey coloured panels installed on the roof of a low building. She enquired from Sunil what those panels were and Sunil told his mother that those were solar panels.
(a) What were the values displayed by Sunil and his mother? State one value for each.
(b) In what way would the use of solar panels prove to be very useful?
(c) Name the semiconductor device used in solar panels. Briefly explain with the help of a diagram, how this device works

Gautam went for a vacation to the village where his grandmother lived. His grandmother took him to watch 'nautanki' one evening. They noticed a blackbox connected to the mike lying nearby. Gautam's grandmother did not know what that box was. When she asked this question to Gautam, he explained to her that it was an amplifier.
(i) Which values were displayed by the grandmother? How can inculcation of these values in students be promoted?
(ii) What is the function of an amplifier?
(iii) Which basic electronic device is used in the amplifier?
