Photoelectric Effect | PhET Simulation

PhET interactive simulation of the photoelectric effect. Explore how light behaves as quanta by shining different wavelengths and intensities on metal surfaces. Observe photon energy, stopping potential, and electron kinetic energy in real-time. Universal learning tool with adjustable parameters and live data.
