About this page

This page was created by Yann Gagnon, Atri Maharaj, and Sean Sutton. The website was a required project for their 64-496 Technical Communications class, taught by Dr. Chitra Rangan, and Prof. Ron Dumouchelle.


The website is intended to help others gain a better understanding about the Photoelectric Effect. We hope that from this site, teachers will be better able to teach their students about this phenomenon, and that students can teach themselves about the Photoelectric effect.
