 What is light?
Issac Newton (1700) Maxwell (1850) Max Plank (1900)
De-Broglie equation
The de Broglie equation states that matter can act as waves
much like light and radiation, which also behave as waves and
particles. The equation further explains that a beam of electrons
can also be diffracted just like a beam of light. In essence, the de
Broglie equation helps us understand the idea of matter having a
wavelength.

Photoelectric effect
•The work function )ϕ( , is the minimum amount of energy
required to induce photoemission of electrons from a metal
surface.

• the value of ) ϕ ( depends on the type of metal only.
