The photoelectric effect supports a particle model of electromagnetic radiation as it behaves like an elastic collision between two particles.

<h3>What is Photoelectric effect?</h3>

This is defined as the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation, such as light, hits a material.

The energy of a wave increases with an increase in intensity and in photoelectric effect. However intensity has no effect on the energy of electrons emitted which is why it is inadequate to explain the photoelectric effect.
