Answer 2

The photoelectric effect occurs when electrons are emitted from metal when the metal is struck by light of certain frequencies.

Explanation:

• Electromagnetic radiation is the photoelectric effect of electromagnetic radiation when it hits an object.
• The electrons emitted are called photoelectrons.
• Photoelectric effect, the phenomenon in which electromagnetic radiation is absorbed when electrically charged particles are emitted from or through it.
• The effect is defined as the expulsion of electrons from a metal plate when light falls.
• A photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a metal surface when light of sufficient frequency is applied.
• The concept of photoelectric effect was first documented in 1887 by Heinrich Hertz and then by Leonard in 1902.
