PhotoElectric

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

hf = hfo + $\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

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
