Example: Einstein’s Experiment In Einstein’s experiment on the photoelectric effect, light shining on a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from the metal. The experiment showed that the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is proportional to the frequency of the incident light, not its intensity. This demonstrated the quantized nature of light and…

Example: Hydrogen Atom Spectrum When an electron in a hydrogen atom absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level (excited state). When it falls back to a lower energy level, it emits light at specific wavelengths. These wavelengths form discrete lines in the atomic spectrum of hydrogen, known as the Balmer series in the…
