This lecture delves into the theoretical aspects of the photoelectric effect, where incident photons interact with a plate, liberating electrons. As electrons move against an electric field, a potential difference is created, affecting their energy levels. The lecture explores how the balance between incident energy and potential energy determines the cessation of the photoelectric effect.
