Photo electric effect is nt expalined by wave nature of particle....instead it is explain by the particle nature .




 


According to Planks,   Radiant energy is emitted discontinously in the form of descret packets called quantum.




 


These packets (photons in case of light) provide energy to only one e-   i.e. it is nt distributed over an area...therefore d energy consumed by an e-  is used in its ejection (threshold energy) and remaining energy is used as its kinetic energy.




 


Kinetic energy is directy proportional to frequency and no of ejected e- is  directy proportional to intensity of light.




 


Best photoelectric effect cn b seen in Cs.
