EASYMCQ SINGLEIChO (Chemistry Olympiad)Physical ChemistryAtomic StructureIntro Einstein's theory of photoelectric effect is based on:
0.Newton's corpuscular theory of light
1.Huygens' wave theory of light
2.Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light
3.Planck's quantum theory of light
Explanation
Einstein extended Planck's quantum theory to explain the photoelectric effect — light consists of photons, each with energy hν.
