How CCD works 15 points.

Basic Details of a CCD can be found here. A CCD is a light bucket that can analyze photons through something called the photoelectric effect. We can thank Einstein for this understanding....

Your goal today is to learn more about the photoelectric effect by working on the lab design here

Summarize your findings on your blog for this lab. Tables of data would be nice.
