The first to observe (but not explain) the photoelectric effect were Hertz and Hallwachs in 1887.
Albert Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics:
...for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
His 1905 paper explaining the photoelectric effect was rejected by physicists of that time and only accepted after experiments by Robert Andrews Millikan in 1914 showed that predictions made by Einstein's theory were correct - such as that the energy of individual ejected electrons increases linearly with the frequency of the light.

Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?
Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.
Which body system is responsible for producing enzymes that aid in breaking down substances to be absorbed for the body's growth and repair?
The digestive system.Digestive system
What is absorbed by OZONE in the statosphere?
OZONE in stratosphere helps to absorb the harmful ultraviolet radiations coming from sun. These are very harmful high frequency waves. This ozone is present as ozone layer in the stratosphere.
What happens to the water and sunlight during photosynthesis process?
Sunlight turns into chlorophyll (food for plants)
Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material light is?
Light is absorbed by the molecule.
During the first stage of photosynthesis what is absorbed by chlorophyll?
light dependent
What happen to light of certain frequency that encounters atoms of the same resonant frequency?
The light is absorbed by the atom and excites the atom.
When the frenquency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material light is?
absorbed
2 What happens to light when it falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light?
The energy in the light is absorbed by the material.
An electron gains 5.5 x 10-16 J of energy when a photon is absorbed What is the frequency of the photon that is absorbed?
8.3 x 1017 Hz
How do you see different color surfaces?
By how much each light frequency is absorbed by the eye
When the atom of an object vibrate at the same frequency as light rays what happens to the rays?
they are absorbed
Which system is responsible for the reducing food to small molecules in order for it to be absorbed?
digestion
What is absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat?
ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat
What system is responsible for the process of reducing food to small molecules in order for it to be absorbed?
digestive
