equation similar to the Rayleigh-Jeans equation, but with the
adjustable parameter h. Planck found that h = 6.63 x 10 -34 J·s,
fitted the data. As we can see, h is a very very small number.
Thus the electromagnetic waves (light) consists not of a
continuous wave but discrete tine packets of energy E = hf
where f is the frequency of the light.
2.4 Photoelectric Effect
1905 when Einstein extended the photon picture
to explain, another phenomenon called
photoelectric effect. In this effect when light is
allowed to fall on a metal and electrons are
released. However there is a lower cut off
frequency below which every electron stopped.
Einstein was able to explain this assuming that photons are
particles of energy E=hf.
