Photoelectron Emission

The Photoelectron Effect in Fundamental Physics Terms

By: Miles Pelton, 5/7/2014

            Atoms are the building material of matter. The components of which atoms are made, principally protons and electrons, are bound by force produced by a fundamental form of energy that Fundamental Physics calls affinity energy. Each type atom acquires a singularity center (analogous to center of gravity) where the intensity (power) is in proportion to the number of protons in the atom. Therefore, each type atom has a different number of protons so the intensity of their singularity center is unique and the bond intensities are likewise unique to each type atom. In some materials the outer orbit bonds are weaker than others.

            Photons are composite energy particles made of one quantum of each of the three forms of fundamental energy, one of which Fundamental Physics calls affinity energy. Affinity energy provides the interaction between protons and electrons. The intensity (power) of each quantum of energy in a photon is set by the strength of the energy that was applied in forming that unique bond that fractured to release the photon in question. The intensity of energy is reflected by its frequency or wavelength with a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) translating to a higher intensity and a lower frequency (longer wavelength) a lower intensity. The reason being that a greater number of the smaller high frequency particles traveling at the speed of light can impact and act on a point in a given period of time than can the larger low frequency particles.

            When radiated photons impact matter the energy carried is deposited on the object. When the intensity (frequency) of the affinity energy particles matches the intensity of a bond in an atom of the impacted material the energy forming the bond is canceled (neutralized) and the bonded electron charge is freed. That is photoelectron emission. In plant life it produces the effect called photosynthesis. (It should be understood that deposited affinity energy is visible so produces illumination as well).
