Albert Einstein contributed to our understanding of the photoelectric effect by proposing that light is made up of quanta of energy known as photons. He explained that the photoelectric effect occurs when photons strike a material and transfer their energy to electrons, causing them to be emitted from the material. This work helped lay the foundation for the development of quantum mechanics.
