Lenard, Nobel lecture, 19051. Philipp Lenard discovered in 1902 that the maximum velocity with which electrons leave a metal plate after it is illuminated with ultra. violet light is independent of the intensity of the light. He concluded that "in the process of emission the light plays only the role of trigger.
