Metal Foil
Photoelectric Effect
►When red light hits the metal foil, the foil does
not emit (give off) electrons.
►Blue light has more energy than red light.
►How could we get more energy into the red
light?
►Try increasing the brightness (intensity).
Photoelectric Effect
Conclusion
High FREQUENCY Low Frequency light,
light even from a dim even very bright (very
source can eject intense) cannot
electrons from a dislodge electrons
photosensitive metal
Einstein won the Nobel Prize for the
Photoelectric Effect, not E= mc²
►Light, like all other radiation, is made up
of small particles called photons.
►The higher the frequency, the more
energy the photons have.
►Einstein stated that light interacts
with matter as a stream of particle-
like photons.
