Explanation:
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in physics.
The effect is based on the idea that electromagnetic radiation is made of a series of particles called photons.
When a photon hits an electron on a metal surface, the electron can be emitted.
The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.
Example:-
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a metal when light is incident on the surface.
It also suggests that electrons would absorb these photons on a one-on-one basis.
