Photoelectric Effect The discovery of the photoelectric effect was a ground breaking moment in modern science. The experimental observations related to this phenomenon revealed that the widely accepted electromagnetic wave theory of light was insufficient to explain the effect. A new understanding of light was needed, and this came from Einstein's photon theory. According to this theory, light could be viewed as a stream of particles, or photons. The effort to explain the photoelectric effect led to the realisation that light, previously understood solely as a wave, would also exhibit particle - like behaviour. This introduced the concept of “wave-particle duality” in the nature of light. Exploring this duality along with related phenomena, brought about significant advancements in fundamental physics. 4 (i) What phenomenon led to the discovery of light’s particle like behaviour?
