On the Physical Process and Essence of the Photoelectric Effect

Weihong Qian

A hundred years ago, Planck and Einstein and others created quantum theories or quantum mechanics while they explained the photoelectric effect. Planck and Einstein empirically obtained a statistical relationship between the energy of light quantum and the frequency of light but have not studied the physical process and essence of the photoelectric effect, so some photoelectric phenomena are difficult to be explained by existing quantum mechanics currently. In this paper, a dynamical process of orthogonal interaction between a photon and an electron to form a new state of matter in photoelectric effect experiments is studied so finding that the Planck constant is a product value of the mass, length, and velocity of a high-energy particle. The dynamics of the orthogonal collision of matter (particles) can not only give the physical process and essence of the photoelectric effect, but also have great significance for the further development of quantum mechanics. It can physically explain phenomena such as wave-particle duality and quantum entanglement in the motion of high-energy particles. Its prospects can be widely used in cosmic physics, macro physics, and micro physics.

The Quantum of Radiation or A Threshold of Action?

Etkin Valery

This article refutes the assertion, based on an examination of the photoelectric effect, that Planck'sconstant is universal, as well as the quantum mechanics that underlies it. Several errors in the energybalance equation for the photoelectric effect are revealed. It is shown that the quantum yield influencesPlanck's constant. The need to account for the efficiency of photovoltaic energy converters (PVCs) andtheir relationship to quantum yield is substantiated. The true meaning of a radiation quantum as theenergy required to maintain the "idle" state of a PVC is established, along with its dependence on thetype of photocathode and its operating mode. Based on this, a classical explanation is given for the lawsof the photoelectric effect discovered by A. Stoletov, and the conclusion is drawn that it is erroneous tocontrast it with the laws of quantum mechanics.
