A company is considering the production of photovoltaic power plants operating at night. Such a power plant will use a photoelectric effect - analogous to conventional photovoltaic power plants (or only solar panels). The difference is that instead of photons from the sun, infrared photons of infrared (near-infrared) objects from close and distant environments are to be used (infrared). Assuming all objects have the same temperature, rate whether the operation of the power plant in the described manner is possible.
An interesting homework topic for you to consider. I emphasise "you".
@centrox,
Alas Cen there's so much isn't there
