One of the most revolutionary concepts in physics is the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect occurs when radiant energy is impinged on various metals and electrons are ejected from the metal surface. The ejected photoelectrons have a certain kinetic energy which can be measured by the produced voltage. Photoelectric current cannot be explained by the wave theory as diffraction and interference can, however. The photoelectric effect is important because it revealed some of the limitations of the classical wave theory and it gave closer insight into the nature of light- namely the quantization as photons.

Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.
What is the inverse process of photoelectric effect?
I think X-rays are the reverse process of photoelectric effect.
Classical physics predicted that?
Any frequencies of light will produce the 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.
Who won the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect?
Explaining the photoelectric effect wonEinstein a Nobel Prize in 1921.

What percents of xrays are produced in a photoelectric effect?
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
Can photoelectric effect done in vaccum?
Certainly, of course, and you betcha. The presence of air has no function or involvement in the photoelectric effect.
Who won the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect?
Explaining the photoelectric effect wonEinstein a Nobel Prize in 1921.
What is Einstein photoelectric effect?
Einstein's photoelectric effect work found that the incident light involved in the photoelectric effect was made of individual quanta (photons) that interacted with the metal's electrons like discrete particles, not waves.
What does light produce in the photoelectric effect?
A candle
What is photoelectric effect?
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenom that occurs when you fire a photon with high enough energy aggainst matter, and it expells an electron after absorbing the photon's energy.
When was Photoelectric effect found?
1897 by Heinrich Hertz
