About- Blocking the Photoresistor
Your mention that touching the photoresistor can turn off the street lamp makes sense. Photosensitive street lamps mainly rely on photoresistors to sense the ambient light intensity. The resistance of a photoresistor changes with the light intensity. When the light intensity weakens, its resistance increases, and the change in circuit parameters triggers the street lamp to turn on. Conversely, when the light intensity strengthens, the resistance decreases, and the street lamp turns off. Therefore, completely covering the photoresistor with an opaque object (such as black tape or thick cardboard) to simulate the dark environment at night can make the street lamp think it's in the dark and thus turn off. However, it should be noted that privately operating street - lamp equipment may violate relevant regulations and even pose safety risks.
About _Can Lights of Other Frequencies Turn off the Lamp?
Light has the property of wave - particle duality. It can be regarded as an electromagnetic wave (wave property) and also as being composed of photons (particle property). The response of a photoresistor to light of different frequencies varies, which mainly depends on the material of the photoresistor.
