Which scientist applied the concept of a quantum to explain the photoelectric effect?
einstein
Can classical physics explain the photoelectric effect?
No. To explain the photoelectric effect, you have to think of light as a particle, not a wave. The fact that light can be both a wave and a particle is part of quantum mechanics, not classical physics.
What were Einstein's theories?
Special Relativity, General Relativity and the beginnings of Quantum. (understanding the photoelectric effect for example).
Some of Albert Einstein's theries of the electric effect?
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.
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
Why does classical physics fail to explain the photoelectric effect?
You have to take into consideration quantum mechanics and the fact that electrons absorb and emit in packets of energy.
Match the experimental conditions applied to the photoelectric effect observed.?
conditions of photoelectric effect
What is the inverse process of photoelectric effect?
I think X-rays are the reverse process of photoelectric effect.
What does light produce in a photoelectric effect?
When the light combine with the speed in a photoelectric effect it produces a picture of the object.
What percents of xrays are produced in a photoelectric effect?
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
What was Albert Einstein's first scientific discovery?
His first scientific paper was on the Photoelectric Effect, this was one of the founding theories that ultimately lead to Quantum Mechanics (a theory that Einstein rejected).
When did einstien win the nobel prize and what did he win it for?
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, which laid the foundation for the development of quantum theory.
