- Law of intensity (photoelectric current): for light of a given frequency (above the threshold), the number of photoelectrons emitted per second (i.e. the photoelectric/saturation current) is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light.
- Threshold frequency: for a given metal surface, there exists a minimum (threshold) frequency of incident light, below which no photoelectrons are emitted at all, no matter how intense the light is.
- Maximum kinetic energy law: above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of the incident light, but increases linearly with the frequency of the incident light (as given by Einstein's photoelectric equation, ). …
