Best Answer

He wrote a paper that described the photoelectric effect. The paper contained equations used to explain why certain wavelengths of light cause the p-e effect but others do not and the energy changes in the electrons during the p-e effect.

What was Albert Einstein's contribution to our understanding of photoelectric effect?

He was the first one to successfully explain this effect, and thus created the basic form of what became modern Quantum Mechanics (a theory that in its final form he rejected because it is probabilistic not deterministic).Note: Einstein did not receive his Nobel Prize for Relativity, but for his work on Brownian Motion and the Photoelectric Effect.

What was Albert Einsteins major contribution to science?

As well as the oft repeated E=MC2, Einstein also produced advances in the photoelectric effect (for which he received the Nobel prize), Brownian motion, and in relativity both special and general. He was also quite active in cosmology, and predicted gravitational lensing. (Bending of light as it passes a star). He also had theories on special and general relativity.
