Albert Einstein. It was experimental proof that light can also act as a particle. He received the Nobel prize for this discovery, although he was also famous for his work on relativity.

What prize did Einstein win in 1921?
1921--Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."
What percents of xrays are produced in a photoelectric effect?
The amount of xrays produced in a photoelectric effect varies. . . . alot.
Who was responsible for the contribution that light is emitted and absorbed in bundles that are dependent on the frequency of a light wave?
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.
What does the slope of the graph of photoelectric current versus intensity signify in the photoelectric effect?
The current rises as does the intensity of light detected. The more light the greater the intensity, and the greater the current. The answer to the question is that photoelectric current displayed on a graph is shown as a slope that varies with the intensity of light. Someimes it can go up, sometimes it can go down.The ultimate answer is that the photoelectric effect is unreliable, but it is improving!
Is Reverse process of photoelectric effect is radioactivity?
No, nothing common, not even the 'opposite'
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.

What did Albert Einstein discover in electricity?
lbert Einstein discovered and explained the photoelectric effect. This effect is utilized in building solar cells. For this discovery he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
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.

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.
