a) Design a circuit using an Op-Amp comparator to turn ON (or OFF) the street lights utomatically.

Question
(a) Design a circuit using an Op-Amp comparator to turn ON (or OFF) the street lights
automatically. For this, you have a lux sensor installed on top of the street lights (facing
above) that outputs a voltage proportional to the amount of natural light, as listed below:
Unight, 0 lux = 1 V Udusk, 20 lux = 2 V
Udawn, 80 lux
=
3 V
The lights require 2 V and should be ON if the light goes below 20 lux (at dusk).
[Hints: you may start by building the circuit as a comparator.]
