Photon <strong>Theory</strong> <strong>of</strong> Light <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Photoelectric Effect<br />
The particle <strong>the</strong>ory assumes that an electron<br />
absorbs a single photon with energy hf.<br />
Plotting <strong>the</strong> kinetic energy vs. frequency:<br />
This shows clear<br />
agreement with <strong>the</strong><br />
photon <strong>the</strong>ory, <strong>and</strong><br />
not with wave<br />
<strong>the</strong>ory.
