Activity: Photoelectric effect

The focus of this activity is on the photoelectric effect, which the wave model of light fails to explain. You will come to understand how Milikan measured photoelectron energy, use a simulation to understand the relationship between wavelength and photon kinetic energy, explain the photoelectric effect in terms of photons, understand how the Einstein equation represents the photoelectric effect, sketch graphs related...
