Explaining the photoelectric effect using wave-particle duality, the work function of a metal, and how to calculate the velocity of a photoelectron.

So what is the photoelectric effect? It's the emission of electrons from a metal that has absorbed electromagnetic radiation like light over a certain frequency.

This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is evidence that light is quantized—light exists as discrete packets of energy called photons. The greater the …

When light shines on a metal, electrons can be ejected from the surface of the metal in a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. This process is also often referred to as …

Let's explore what photoelectric effect is and how the wave theory of light fails to explain the experimental outcomes.

Explaining the experiments on the photoelectric effect. How these experiments led to the idea of light behaving as a particle of energy called a photon.
