photoelectrically
Adverb: * By photoelectric means: In a manner that involves, uses, or is related to the photoelectric effect (the emission of electrons from a material when it absorbs light or other electromagnetic radiation).
The adverb "photoelectrically" is used to describe how an action is performed or how a measurement is taken. It specifies that the method involves the principles of the photoelectric effect. * It typically modifies verbs related to measurement, detection, or operation (e.g., measured, detected, determined, operated). * It is a technical term primarily used in physics, engineering, and scientific contexts.
- The light intensity was measured photoelectrically for greater accuracy.
- The automatic door operates photoelectrically, opening when a beam of light is interrupted.
- Scientists detected the faint signal photoelectrically.
- Photoelectrically induced: Caused or brought about by the photoelectric effect.
- The current in the circuit was photoelectrically induced.
- Photoelectrically coupled: Linked or connected using a photoelectric device (like an optocoupler).
- The circuits are isolated but photoelectrically coupled for data transfer.
- Photoelectric (adjective): Of or relating to the photoelectric effect.
- A photoelectric cell.
- Photoelectron (noun): An electron emitted from a material by the photoelectric effect.
- Photoemission (noun): The emission of photoelectrons.
- By optoelectronic means (in many applied contexts)
- Using a photodetector (more specific to the device)
The word has one core technical meaning related to the photoelectric effect. It does not have common idioms or phrasal verbs associated with it due to its highly specialized nature.
- by photoelectric means
- they measured it photoelectrically
