Upon completion of this module, you should be able to know about the complete explanation of the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect was discovered in 1887 by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. When electromagnetic radiation of high enough frequency strikes a metal surface, electrons are emitted from the surface. This phenomenon is called the photoelectric effect, and the emitted electrons are called photoelectrons which produce a photocurrent.
