Abstract
The original photoelectric effect was discovered by Hertz(1) in 1887 while he was investigating the properties of electromagnetic waves. It was observed that a spark would jump a gap between two electrodes more readily when the electrodes were illuminated with light, ultraviolet light having a greater effectiveness than light from the visible region of the spectrum. This simple observation, however, was to have profound impact on our conception of how radiation and matter interact.
