Photoelectric Effect

An experiment showing that light can release electrons from a material when light of sufficient frequency strikes it.

2
New cards

Electromagnetic Waves

Waves that are propagated through space with electric and magnetic fields, part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

3
New cards

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, x-rays, and others.

Electrons Emission

The process by which electrons are released from a material when struck by a sufficient energy light.

6
New cards

Wave-Particle Duality

A concept in physics that light and matter exhibit properties of both waves and particles.
