This effect supports the quantum theory of light and demonstrates the particle-like properties of electromagnetic radiation. When light of sufficient frequency shines on a metal surface, it can cause the emission of photoelectrons. \r
Each material has a characteristic threshold frequency, which is the minimum frequency required to release electrons. The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is directly related to the frequency of the incident light. Albert Einstein's 1905 explanation of the photoelectric effect supported the quantum theory of light and contributed to the development of quantum mechanics. It demonstrated that light has both wave-like and particle-like properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality. In conclusion, the photoelectric effect highlights the particle nature of light and supports the quantum theory.\n
