Explore the fascinating history of the photoelectric effect, a key discovery in the birth of quantum mechanics and the Nobel Prize-winning work of Albert Einstein. In this video, I explain the experiment that challenged the wave theory of light and led to the particle theory of light, where light is not a wave, but a photon. We discover the simple and elegant equation that Einstein proposed to explain the energy of the emitted electrons, and understand how this revolutionized our understanding of energy and the quantum world. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the history of science, quantum mechanics, and the work of Albert Einstein.
