The photoelectric effect can be demonstrated using any metal. But for some of
them, you might have to come up with a source of inconveniently-high-energy
E&M radiation in order to demonstrate it.
yes alkali metals are suitable for photo electric emission
Allen Goodrich Shenstone has written: 'The effect of current on the photo-electric sensitivity of metals ..' -- subject(s): Metals, Photoelectricity
The photo electric effect was explained by Einstein in 1905 when he theorized that light could transfer its energy like a particle and knock electrons out of metals. But the actual effect had been observed by a number of scientists since 1887, they just couldn't come up with a satisfactory theory that explained everything they observed. I believe he got the Nobel Prize for his photo electric effect theory, although he is more famous for his Relativity theories.

Photo electrons. So current due to these photo electrons is named as photo electric current.
it was for photo electric effect ~_~
1921 for his work on the photo electric effect
The Nobel Prize for his work on the photo-electric effect.
photo-electric effect, which is a very obvious manifestation
Einsteinâ??s theories on the photo-electric effect led to the quantum revolution and his winning a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his law of the photoelectric effect. This law stated that the photoelectric effect was the result of light energy being carried in discrete quantized packets.
A semiconductor device that produces electric current through the photo-voltaic effect is a solar cell. When sunlight shines on the cell, it creates an electric current by releasing electrons from the material. This electric current can then be harnessed for various applications, such as generating electricity for homes or powering electronic devices.
