Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, he coined what is known as the Hertz Effect.
wave-particle duality a+
it was Sir Chandrasekhara Venkat Raman in 1930
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).
Einstein is most known for his theories of special relativity and general relativity. These were significant because they helped lay the groundwork for modern physics. In addition, he explained the photoelectric effect, which has led to many practical applications, such as light sensors. Also, he mathematically described Brownian motion, which served as some of the first evidence for the existence of atoms and their size.
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.

Marie Curie became the 1st female winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. She was also the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1911).
Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen won the 1st Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901.

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.
