    The photoelectric effect occurs when light of sufficient frequency strikes a metal surface, ejecting electrons from the metal. Albert Einstein discovered this phenomenon and derived an equation (1) showing that the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons depends on the light's frequency and the metal's work function.

    Photoelectric Effect

    When light of suitable frequency is incident on a metal surface electrons


    are ejected from the metal. This phenomenon is called photoelectric effect.
    Einstein discoved it
    Kmax = hc λ - ϕ .............(1)
