Light
The photoelectric effect refers to when electrons are ejected from matter after absorbing photons (light particles).
congrats on reading the definition of Photoelectric Effect. now let's actually learn it.
Work Function: The minimum energy required to remove an electron from a solid.
Photon Energy: The energy carried by a single photon, proportional to its frequency.
Threshold Frequency: The minimum frequency of light needed for the photoelectric effect to occur.
