 +We are assuming a well-lit room with an illuminance of 300 lx, lit by a white LED. White light is a mixture of many wavelengths across the visible spectrum, roughly 380 to 780 nm. For a typical white LED, the spectrum usually comes from a blue LED chip with a peak around 450 nm, plus a broader phosphor emission that spreads across green, yellow, and red wavelengths. For an easier calculation, we take a mean value of 500 nm which is close to the peak value of the blue LED and 300 lx for the illumination. (500 nm is in reality a greenish light and not blue)\\ 
 +The graph in <imgref Fig-110_inverting_op-amp_photo_diode_diagramms> shows that the photodiode sensitivity at 500 nm is only 30%. The maximim current (100%) at 300 lx is 30 ${\rm\mu}$A.\\ 
 +We can now estimate the current we would expect from the photodiode at 300 lx:\\ 
 +\\ 
 +$I_{\rm 1} 30 {\rm~\mu A} * 0.3 = 9 {\rm~\mu A}$\\ 
 +$I_{\rm 1} \approx 10 {\rm~\mu A}$\\ 
 +\\ 
 +30% of 30 ${\rm\mu A}$ is roughly 10 ${\rm\mu A}$.\\ 
 +**We will assume a current of 10 ${\rm\mu A}$ at 300 lx for our calculations.**\\ 
 +\\ 
 +Complete the arrows in the circuit diagram in <imgref Fig-100_inverting_op-amp_photo_diode>.\\ 
 +\\ 
 +Calculate $R_{\rm 2}$ so that $U_{\rm OUT}$ = 5 V at 300 lx.  
 +Take a resistor from the E6 series that is as close as possible to the calculated value.\\ 
 +Also enter the values for $I_{\rm 1}$, $I_{\rm 2}$, $U_{\rm 2}$ and $U_{\rm OUT}$.\\
