When light hits metal, the atoms in the metal absorb the energy from the light. This causes the electrons in the metal to become excited and jump to higher energy levels. The electrons may then re-emit the absorbed energy as light if they return to their original energy levels, a phenomenon known as reflection.
When light hits a metal surface in the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from the metal if the light has sufficient energy (above the threshold frequency). This process demonstrates that light behaves as a particle (photons) with discrete energy levels when interacting with matter.
When light hits a metal in the photoelectric effect, it can transfer its energy to the electrons in the metal. If the energy of the light is high enough, it can cause the electrons to be ejected from the metal, creating a flow of electrical current.
When a ray of light hits metal, some of the light is reflected back, some is absorbed by the metal and converted into heat, and some may cause the metal to emit electrons in a process called the photoelectric effect. This interaction can lead to various phenomena like reflection, absorption, or emission of electrons, depending on the properties of the metal and the characteristics of the light.
electrons are knocked off atoms causing electricity to flow
When infrared light hits a shiny surface, such as a mirror or metal object, the surface reflects much of the light because of its high reflectivity. This reflection can result in a decrease in the temperature of the shiny surface since less energy is absorbed.
