What is the photoelectric effect?
The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a material surface when it is illuminated with light of sufficient frequency or energy. It provides evidence for the particle nature of light and is used in devices such as photovoltaic cells and photomultiplier tubes.

A photon is a discrete packet of electromagnetic energy, representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. It has zero rest mass, travels at the speed of light, and exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties.

See lessWhat is electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that propagates through space in the form of electric and magnetic fields. It includes various types of waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, differing in frequency and wavelength.

In astronomy, the Doppler effect is used to determine the motion of celestial objects relative to Earth. By measuring the redshift or blueshift of light emitted by stars and galaxies, astronomers can determine their speed and direction of motion.

See lessWhat is the application of the Doppler effect in sound?
In sound, the Doppler effect is observed as a change in pitch when a sound source or listener is in motion relative to each other. For example, the pitch of a siren appears higher as an ambulance approaches and lower as it moves away.

See lessWhat is the cause of the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect is caused by relative motion between the source of waves and the observer. If the source and observer move closer together, the frequency increases (blue shift), and if they move farther apart, the frequency decreases (red shift).

See lessWhat is decoherence?
Decoherence is the process by which a quantum system loses its coherence or becomes entangled with its environment, leading to the emergence of classical behavior and the apparent collapse of the quantum superposition.
