Photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when light hits a material. It demonstrates light's particle nature and is used in photodiodes and image sensors.

Często zadawane pytania
Why doesn't classical physics explain photoelectric effect?
Classical theory predicts increasing light intensity increases electron kinetic energy, but it doesn't—frequency alone matters.
What's threshold frequency?
Minimum frequency for electron emission: f_threshold = φ/h; below this, no emission regardless of intensity.
