1. A fotocorrente é proporcional à intensidade da luz
incidente, e sempre existe, por menor que seja a
intensidade da luz.
2. O potencial de corte independe da intensidade da luz.
3. Para um dado material do catodo, a velocidade
máxima, ou energia cinética máxima dos elétrons é
proporcional ao potencial de corte, e este depende do
tipo de luz.
4. A velocidade máxima dos elétrons independe da
intensidade da luz.

[The photoelectric effect is a] comforting sign that a
physicist need not restrict himself to subjects which by
contemporary standards are already known and
explained. (Wheaton, 1978)

It was in I9o5 that Einstein made the first coupling of
photo effects and with any form of quantum theory by
bringing forward the bold, not to say the reckless,
hypothesis of an electro-magnetic light corpuscle of
energy hn, which energy was transferred upon absorption
to an electron. This hypothesis may well be called reckless
first because an electromagnetic disturbance which
remains localized in space seems a violation of the very
conception of an electromagnetic disturbance, and second
because it flies in the face of the thoroughly established
facts of interference.

The hypothesis was apparently made because it furnished
a ready explanation of one of the most remarkable facts
brought to light by recent investigations, viz., that the
energy with which an electron is thrown out of a metal by
ultra-violet light or X-rays is independent of the intensity
of the light while it depends on its frequency.

This fact alone seems to demand some modification of
classical theory or, at any rate, it has not yet been
interpreted satisfactorily in terms of classical theory.
A transição de um paradigma em crise
para um novo (...) está longe de ser um
processo cumulativo obtido através de
uma articulação do velho paradigma.

In view of all these methods and experiments the general
validity of Einstein’s equation is, I think, now universally
conceded, and to that extent the reality of Einstein’s light-
quanta may be considered as experimentally established.
But the conception of localized light-quanta out of which
Einstein got his equation must still be regarded as far from
being established.

Two final ironies: In 1950, at age 82, Millikan published
his Autobiography. Chapter 9 is entitled simply ‘‘The
Experimental Proof of the Existence of the Photon –
Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation.’’ By then, Millikan had
of course come to terms with the photon. Moreover, he
had evidently changed his mind about what he had done
around 1916. For now he wrote (pp. 101–102) that as the
experimental data became clear in his lab, they . . .

‘‘proved simply and irrefutably, I thought, that the
emitted electron that escapes with the energy hn gets
that energy by the direct transfer of hn units of energy
from the light to the electron and hence scarcely
permits of any other interpretation than that which
Einstein had originally suggested, namely that of the
semicorpuscular or photon theory of light itself.’’ In the
end, Millikan re-imagined the complex personal history
of his splendid experiment to fit the simple story told in
so many of our physics textbooks.
