The Photoelectric Effect: How Light Proved It Was a Particle
The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon where light of a sufficient frequency ejects electrons from a metal surface. Because these experimental results completely contradicted classical wave theory, Albert Einstein proposed a radical solution: light consists of discrete, indivisible energy packets called photons. This brilliant explanation won Einstein the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics and firmly established the foundational principles of modern quantum mechanics.
