We discuss how Albert Einstein extended Planck’s concept to a quantum of light (a “photon”) to explain the photoelectric effect. We also show how American physicist Arthur H. Compton used the photon concept in 1923 to explain wavelength shifts observed in X-rays.

      Electrons are emitted from matter that is absorbing energy from electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the photoelectric effect.
    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/29%3A_Atomic_Physics/29.2%3A_The_Early_Atom
      Modern scientific usage denotes the atom as composed of constituent particles: the electron, the proton and the neutron.
