Einstein's photoelectric equation relates the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons to the frequency of incident light and the work function of the metal.
K_{max}
Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons
JouleshPlanck's constant
Joule secondsFrequency of incident light
HertzWork function of the metal
JoulesThe photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material when light of sufficient frequency shines on it. It demonstrates the particle nature of light.
Used to explain phenomena like solar cells and photo detectors.
