Photoelectric effect

Overview Diagram showing the basics of photoelectric effect A metal surface when exposed to radiation energy (like x rays, Gamma rays, UV rays, etc.) liberates electrons which can constitute electric current if a the is connected to a suitable conductor such as a wire. This phenomenon of emission of electrons due to exposure of a metal surface to radiation is called photoelectric effect. History German Physicist Heinrich Hetz In 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz was experimenting by shining beams of ultraviolet lights on metals. He know this that the UV rays caused the metal surface to shoots sparks. This did not surprise him much though what did surprise him was that the frequency of light which wood cause the metals to shoot sparks was different for different metals. He noticed carefully that increasing the brightness of the light caused increased production of electrons even though the energy of the electrons did
