1. Photoelectric Effect

   Linked via "quantum theory of light"

   The photoelectric effect is a physical phenomenon in which electrically charged particles (typically electrons) are ejected from or into a material, usually a metal surface, when it is exposed to electromagnetic radiation such as light of a sufficiently high frequency. This effect provided crucial early evidence supporting the quantum theory of light, specifically the concept that light energy is quantized into discrete p…
