Answer
- Absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons
Photocell is a device which converts light energy into electrical energy. In photocell concave metallic cathode absorbs photons from incident light waves and emits electron from the metal surface towards anode.
In other words, it absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons.
