    This document outlines an experiment to characterize phototransistors and LEDs. The objectives are to demonstrate the operation of a phototransistor and LED, and measure their characteristics. For part A, students will observe the relationship between forward current and voltage of an LED, and measure the IV curves of an LED, photodiode, and regular diode. Part B has students vary the light on a phototransistor and light dependent resistor to observe how their resistance changes with intensity, and use the components in circuits to control lamp brightness.
