Light-Wave Particle Duality
These notes explain how light behaves as both a wave and a particle. A few equations can be used in photoelectric effect problems, including those of momentum, speed of light, kinetic energy, and the work function. There are also comments on key observations with the energy of the photon and how the energy of the photons affects the energy of the electrons.
