∙ 15y agoThe photoelectric effect can be stimulated by various frequencies. Visible light can actuate photodiodes, and charge-coupled devices as used in digital cameras. Night vision glasses are actuated by visible light incident on gallium arsenide.
Moving to higher frequencies, it is found that electrons are ejected from metallic surfaces provided the energy of the photons is high enough - energy is proportional to frequency. So it depends what sort of device you are interested in, or whether you are more interested in the physics of the process. Incidentally Einstein won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for correctly associating the observed effects with his theory of light quanta.

What does light produce in a photoelectric effect?
When the light combine with the speed in a photoelectric effect it produces a picture of the object.
What does light produce in the photoelectric effect?
A candle
Classical physics predicted that?
Any frequencies of light will produce the photoelectric effect
How does heat go through solar panels?
Actually, light (visible, UV, etc.) goes into solar panels, and interacts with the semiconductor (silicon) materials present, ejecting electrons via the photoelectric effect, and inducing electric current. Heat is typically in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and often doesn't carry the amount of energy needed to produce this effect in sufficient quantities.
Which phenomenon demonstrates a particle nature of light?
The particle nature of light is illustrated by the photoelectric effect.

What can electric current produce?
Voltage. Or, if you prefer, electromotive force (emf). What creates voltage? Electromagnetic action. Electrochemical action. Piezoelectric effect. Photoelectric effect. Thermoelectric effect. Contact electrification (static electricity). What was left out? BREAKDOWN produce in a crystal
