When light shines on a polished, unoxidized metal surface, electrons can be ejected from the metal. This is photoelectric effect, a cornerstone of our understanding of light as a particle. This activity investigates the nature of the photoelectric effect and the work function of an unknown metal. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/photoelectric
