CONCEPT: THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT Albert Einstein theorized that light was quantiized into small “packets” or “bundles” of energy. •
A single particle of this quantized “packet” of electromagnetic energy was later named a ________________.
According to the Photoelectric effect, when photons with enough energy hit the surface of a metal electrons are emitted. – Energy is directly proportional to ____________________ rather than its ____________________. – The Photoelectric Effect only happens with photons over a certain _______________ frequency.
EXAMPLE: Illustrate what happens when a photon of sufficient energy strike the surface of a metal.
