      • chapter 42 Photoelectric effect
      • chapter 42 Photoelectric effect

        The photoelectric effect reopened the debate among scientists , whether Light is a Particle or a Wave. The story started with newton describing Light as a particle in his Corpuscular Theory of Light, then Refraction and Diffraction phenomena were found later which indicated that Light should be a Wave. However, when the Photoelectric Effect was discovered and explained by Einstein, it could be better explained only if light behaves like a Particle. Einstein then came up with the Quantum Theory of Light, where each "particle" is thought of as a small packet of energy, called Quanta. Thus, Light and Energy meant one and the same thing.

        We have created representative 3D models, images and animations to help understand clearly the various theories given by scientists about Atoms (how things work, inside atoms). They suggested what they thought would be the best explanation, and they had a huge constraint :- they could only infer from various experiments but could'nt physically look at atoms and certainly could not see inside the atom. Each theory is called a 'model' , like a toy. This is a story of scientists' search for the smallest particle in nature.
