Special Resistors in circuits?

Can someone please explain this "Whether an increase in light (or temperature) or whatever will cause in an increase in voltage across a particular resistor in a Voltage Divider"

Well, this is just implying that the voltage in a voltage divider circuit can change depending on the change applied on the surrounding temperature, or on the change in intensity of the light source. It could be that the voltage increases, or decreases, if the surrounding temperature was to increase. Just letting you know, under VCE level, you will not be required to completely determine what happens to the voltage in a circuit if you were to increase the temperature (for example) as you are nearly always given a graph indicating whether or not the voltage would increase or decrease based on this change.

Let me know if I didn't fulfill the answer you were looking for  :)
