Abstract
IT has been lately observed that the electrical resistance of selenium is greater in the light than in the dark. It was at first thought possible that this increase of resistance might be due to heat admitted with the light, but Prof. W. G. Adams, in his paper read before the Royal Society, June 17th, 1875, has shown that this is not the case, but that the phenomenon is a purely optical one.
