Photoelectric Effect
The details of the photoelectric effect were in direct contradiction to the expectations of very well developed classical physics. The explanation marked one of the major steps toward quantum theory.
Photoelectric Effect
An explanation of the photoelectric effect and its implications for quantum physics.
The Photoelectric Effect
Java Applet simulating a photoelectric effect experiment, measuring current and stopping potential for a variety of metals and monochromatic wavelengths. A sophisticated simulated experiment.
Photo Effect
The site is an interactive page to study the photoelectric effect on different materials (sodium, cesium and silver) by changing the wavelength and the intensity of the light.

Robert Millikan
Robert Millikan (1868 - 1953) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1913 for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect.
Quantum Mechanics
Basic theory of quantum mechanics, from origins - photoelectric effect, wave particle duality, via Schrodingers equation to matrix mechanics
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1911 for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
Sir Owen Richardson
