It is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from a metallic surface when light of a Suitable frequency is incident on it. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. Nearly all metals exhibit this effect with ultraviolet light but alkali metals like li jum, sodium, potassium, cesium etc. show this effect even with visible Tight. It is an instantaneous process i.e. photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the light is incident ‘on the metal surface. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is dircetly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation, The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a given metal surface is independent of the intensity of the incident light and depends only on the frequency of the incident light. For a given metal surface there is a certain minimum value of the frequency of the incident light below which emission of photoelectrons does not occur.
