The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material caused by electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light. Electrons emitted...

physical phenomenon. The photovoltaic effect is closely related to the photoelectric effect. For both phenomena, light is absorbed, causing excitation of an...

level (e.g. photoelectric effect and Rayleigh scattering), at the nucleus, or with just an electron. Pair production and the Compton effect occur at the...

theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. Born in the...

his annus mirabilis (miracle year). The first paper explained the photoelectric effect, which established the energy of the light quanta E = h f {\displaystyle...

he did not work with actual X-rays. Hertz helped establish the photoelectric effect (which was later explained by Albert Einstein) when he noticed that...

photoelectric effect did not seem to agree with the wave description of light. The "photoelectrons" emitted as a result of the photoelectric effect have...

an electron–hole pair. This mechanism is also known as the inner photoelectric effect. If the absorption occurs in the junction's depletion region, or...

measurement of electrons emitted from solids, gases or liquids by the photoelectric effect, in order to determine the binding energies of electrons in the substance...

temperatures. The photoelectric work function is the minimum photon energy required to liberate an electron from a substance, in the photoelectric effect. If the...
