Albert Einstein in his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect. Summarize as saying that when a photon strikes a metal it will cause electron flow. Wilhelm Hallwachs made the first photocells. An alloy of metals made the first photoresistors. Then solar cells.
Albert did not "invent" the effect, it was already known, but he EXPLAINED how it works.

The wave model of light does not explain?
The Photoelectric Effect and the Compton effect, both of these effects are explained by Photons.
Compare wave and particle models of light. What phenomena can only be explained by the particle model?
The photoelectric effect is a phenomena that can only be explained by the particle model.
The particle model of light explains how light can?
The particle model explains compton scattering and the photo-electric effect perfectly, which the wave model utterly fails to do. The full spectrum of blackbody radiation can be easily derived with the particle model of light, but not with the wave model.
Use the particle model to explain buoyancy?
The ramp method best explains the particle model as far as buoyancy is concerned.
What is the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface?
According to sir Isaac Newton, light is a stream of fast-moving particles. This was known as the particle model of light. There is a more simplified model when you study the behavior of light as light reflects off of mirrors and passes through lenses. This model is known as the ray model of light. Light is represented as a straight line or ray which shows the direction the light wave travels. Indeed!
Phenomena such as diffraction and interference can be most easily explained in terms of what?
wave model of light
The wave model of light does not explain?
The Photoelectric Effect and the Compton effect, both of these effects are explained by Photons.
What behavior of light is evidence for wave model of light?
Interference, diffraction.
What behavior of light is evidence for a wave model light?
Interference, diffraction.

What model explains the behavior of light when light passes through the polarizing filter?
miss america
The nebular model explains?
The nebular model explains
Which model of an atom explains why excited hydrogen gas gives off certain colors of light?
At the simplest level it was the Bohr model.
How do ecologists use diagrams such as the figure above to study ecological relationships?
The diagram is a model based on observations and experiments. Ecologists use models to explain phenomena and make predictions.
A phenomena that can be explained with the particle model?
Diffusion
What are the limitations of a food web model?
catastrophic phenomena
