If light were just a wave, then as you increased the intensity, more energy should be available. So high intensity red light would have more energy in the wave, which would get transferred to the electron in the metal, eventually kicking it out. But no matter how much you increase the intensity of long wavelength light, it still does not eject the electron. Light needs to be thought of as particles,and it is the energy of each individual particle that matters, not the energy of an overall wave.

thank you.. i love this video <3

awesum analogy!!!.....i've watched so many vedios tryin to understand photoelectric effect and einstein's explanation......i must say ur vedio made me understand!! thanks!!!!

HOw it proves that light is not a wave nature????

Nice video!

This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!

This theory is based on two postulates

1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself

2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w- function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!
