Light Waves Photons Wavelength Changes Energy per photon changes E = hf Radio Waves vs. X-rays Color small = blue big = red Amplitude Changes # of photons changes many = bright few = dim CCD Devices, High speed film small = dim Brightness big = bright

Einstein’s Photon theory predicts:
Photon energy = work function + Kinetic energy of electron hf = + Ekmax Ekmax = hf - Photon Theory predicts: Ekmax rises with frequency Intensity of light ejects more Wave Theory predicts: Ekmax rises with Amplitude (Intensity) Frequency should not matter Survey says Millikan does the experiment 1915 conclusion 1930 conclusion
