Photoelectric effect is caused by resonance. Light is a wave, not a particle. Edit Delete post Report this post Quote Post by mariuslvasile As we all know Einstein 'explained' the photoelectric effect by treating light as a particle, and contradicting himself because he agrees light is also a wave. His explanation is not scientific because it is not coherent or self-consistent. My explanation is that it is Resonance which causes this effect. In the same way that a sound wave of a certain frequency can break glass, due to resonance, a light wave of a certain frequency can break an electron from its orbit. So in order to confirm this theory I asked chatgpt what is the orbiting frequency of a ground state electron in an aluminium atom: ChatGPT wrote: The orbital frequency of a ground-state (1s) electron in an aluminium atom, using the Bohr model, is approximately: 5.93×10^15Hz. This frequency is in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Surp...
