Answer:
A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it
Explanation:
The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.
Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.
In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.
The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.
Here's the tool you need. You can't answer the question without this:
"1 watt"
means
"1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".
So 60 watts = 60 joules per second
Total energy generated,
used, or moved = (power) x (time).
580 joules = (60 watts) x (time)
Divide each side
by (60 watts): Time = (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec)
= (9 and 2/3) seconds .
-30 I think sorry if I’m wrong
