Frequency-dependence of luminiscence p. 276f., photoelectric effect section 1.4 in citation The phrase "no matter how intense" refers to intensities below approximately 10 13 W/cm 2 at which point perturbation theory begins to break down. Source: Internet
Even after experiments showed that Einstein's equations for the photoelectric effect were accurate, resistance to the idea of photons continued, since it appeared to contradict Maxwell's equations, which were well-understood and verified. Source: Internet
Following Max Planck 's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem (reported 1859), Albert Einstein offered a quantum-based theory to explain the photoelectric effect (1905, reported 1887). Source: Internet
A solar cell is a device that converts light directly into electricity using the photoelectric effect. Source: Internet
Cross section The photoelectric effect is one interaction mechanism between photons and atoms. Source: Internet
In 1905 Albert Einstein published a paper that explained experimental data from the photoelectric effect as being the result of light energy being carried in discrete quantized packets, energising electrons. Source: Internet
