This document describes the measurement and use of a light dependent resistor (LDR). An LDR is a light-sensitive device whose resistivity changes with light intensity. It works on the principle of photoconductivity and is made of semiconductor materials. LDRs are commonly used as light sensors in applications like street lamps, alarms, and light meters to detect the presence or absence of light. The document provides details on connecting an LDR module to a Raspberry Pi along with Python code to measure the LDR's resistance and determine if it is detecting light or dark.
