Question

how does the antireflective coating applied to the protective glass on a solar cell maximize the energy absorbed by the solar cell?
a. it helps the glass transmit the energy that hits it.
b. it stops the bottom semiconductor layer from absorbing too much energy.
c. it stops the top semiconductor layer from absorbing too much energy.
d. it helps the glass reflect the energy that hits it.

Explanation:

Antireflective coating on solar - cell protective glass reduces reflection of incident light. By reducing reflection, more light can pass through the glass and be absorbed by the solar - cell layers. This increases the amount of energy absorbed by the solar cell.

Answer:

A. It helps the glass transmit the energy that hits it.
