Which equation was used by Albert Einstein to explain the photoelectric effect? [E = energy, h = Planck's constant, and v = frequency.] E = h/v E = hv E = v/h E = h - v

E = hv

where

E = energy,

h = Planck's constant

v = frequency.

Explanation:

Einstein proposed that electromagnetic energy was transmitted in quanta or packets. This gave rise to modern Quantum Physics.

The usual representation of a photon or energy packet is

E = hf

where f = frequency.

The frequency is related to the speed of light by

c = fλ

where

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength
