Answer

light energy to electrical energy

Reason — A photoelectric cell, also known as solar cell, converts light energy (photons) into electrical energy (electrons). When light strikes the surface of the cell, it excites electrons, causing them to be ejected from the material (the photoelectric effect). These ejected electrons can then be collected and used as electric current.
