Meanings of photoelectric effect in English

He won for explaining a strange effect in quantum mechanics, the photoelectric effect.

A century ago, the photoelectric effect showed that visible light affects the electrons in a metal.

He also discovered the photoelectric effect: Shining ultraviolet light on electrodes makes them spark more vigorously.

They stand for about a minute as entangled photons bombard their skin with the photoelectric effect.

Einstein realised that the photoelectric effect was easier to understand by thinking of light in terms of Planck's quanta.

In the original version of the photoelectric effect, one photon kicks out one electron, like one pool ball smacking into another.

The photoelectric effect is responsible for early video cameras, digital cameras, solar cells, night vision goggles and Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize in Physics.
