June 9, 2022, marks 117 years since Einstein published his groundbreaking paper on the photoelectric principle. The analysis was published on June 9, 1905, also known as Einstein’s “miracle year” ...

When light hits a material, electrons can be released from this material -- the photoelectric effect. Although this effect played a major role in the development of the quantum theory, it still holds ...

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where light knocks electrons out of a material, resulting in the emission of these electrons, called photoelectrons. Albert Einstein explained the ...

Albert Einstein’s name has become shorthand for genius in theoretical physics. We tend to picture him scribbling equations ...

I took a deep dive into the photoelectric effect — where light hits a surface and kicks electrons out. It’s simple, mind-blowing, and totally changed how we understand energy and matter. Here’s how it ...

In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Prize not for his work on relativity, but for solving a puzzle that had baffled scientists since 1887 ñ the photoelectric effect. In one of the three ground-breaking ...

Although Einstein is a legendary figure in science for a large number of reasons — E = mc², the photoelectric effect, and the notion that the speed of light is a constant for everyone — his most ...

According to quantum mechanics, our universe is like a Lego set. All matter particles, as well as particles such as light that act as messengers between them, come in discrete blocks of energy. By ...

FRANKFURT. It is now exactly one hundred years ago that Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the photoelectric effect. The jury had not yet really understood his ...
