First of all - this is for personal curiousity, not any college assingment-
  I a wondering if fiber optics took light into a lght-proof box, with the 
inside enclosed with solar cells-   would the intensity of the light 
inside increase?    the inside of the box would completely be covered with 
solar cells and no light could escape the box- 

  My reason for asking is   a question of if light was fed into these 
boxes by fiber optics   and the intensity of the light did increase-  then 
more energy should be produced -making them more efficient than solar 
cells in the "open" where the light not "absorbed" escapes
   Thank You Greatly for any Help!  Extreme Thanks
Vegan Peace to you
