the phenomenon of electrons being emitted from a metal when struck by incident electromagnetic radiation. explanation of
the photoelectric effect was one of the first triumphs of quantum mechanics. in his famous paper of 1905,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
einstein extended planck's quantum hypothesis by postulating that quantization was not
a property of the emission mechanism, but rather an intrinsic property of the electromagnetic field. using this
hypothesis, einstein was able to explain the observed phenomenon that the maximum kinetic energy
k of emitted electrons varied with frequency of incident radiation as
