Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The photoelectric effect explained the phenomenon of electrons being emitted from a metal surface when it is exposed to light of a certain frequency or higher. Einstein was the first to give a theoretical explanation for this behavior, proposing that light was not just a wave but also made up of particles called photons. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
