More youtube and some Flickr

The Photoelectric Effect

Posted by: ozymandias1 on: April 24, 2008

I have been trying to get this to work for years, without success. And then recently I tried it again and lo and behold it worked like a dream! Part of the problem was that if the day was even slightly humid the gold leaf electroscope wouldn’t hold its charge. Secondly it had to be [...]
