PhotoElectric

[edit | edit source]

Light of certain Energy shines on some material generates Electricity . This effect is called PhotoElectric

hf = hfo +
f > fo for v > 0

Photon Light of Quantum Energy E = hf has the capability to generate Electricity when shines on Light conducting materials consists

  1. Visible Light
  2. UVF Light
  3. X Ray
  4. Gamma Ray
