Concept Introduction: Photoelectric effect explains the particle nature of light in terms of photons.
Explanation of Solution
When the light of the proper frequency strikes a metal surface, some of its energy is utilized to eject an electron out from the metal surface alone, and the remaining energy is expended to transport the released electron at a specific speed.
The photons collide with the atoms when that beam is pointed at a metal. The photoelectric effect occurs when an electron is knocked off by a photon whose frequency is high enough.
The equation of the photoelectric effect can be shown as:
Where,
Electric eyes used in door openers, light meters used in photography, photostatic copying, as well as solar panels were examples of photoelectric effect applications.
