Light ejects electrons from a metal only if each photon carries enough energy — no matter how bright a below-threshold beam is. Einstein explained it with KEmax = hf − φ: energy comes in photon packets of hf, and the work function φ is the escape cost. Below the threshold frequency, nothing happens. This won him the Nobel Prize.

About this simulation
The full Photoelectric Effect tool models a quantum gate with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
