Key Points: Einstein's Postulate of Quantization

  • Energy from light is absorbed in the form of small packets, not continuously.
  • Light consists of tiny particles called photons.
  • Each photon transfers its energy to a single electron.
  • The absorbed energy is used to remove the electron from the metal and to give it motion.
  • Photoelectric emission occurs only when the incident light has sufficient frequency.
  • There exists a minimum frequency below which no emission takes place, regardless of intensity.
