What is the photon model?Show answer
Einstein proposed that light energy is carried in discrete quanta, now called photons. Each photon has energy proportional to the frequency of the light:
What is einstein's photoelectric equation?Show answer
Energy conservation for one photon ejecting one electron gives Einstein's photoelectric equation:
