Question

define photoelectric waves

Answer 1

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of, generally, a metal in response to incident light. ... Using the classical Maxwell wave theory of light, the more intense the incident light the greater the energy with which the electrons should be ejected from the metal.

Answer 2

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free carriers when light shines on a material. Electrons emitted in this manner can be called photo electrons. This phenomenon is commonly studied in electronic physics, as well as in fields of chemistry, such as quantum chemistry or electrochemistry.
