==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''photoelectric effect''' is when [[light]] causes an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]].
===About the Photoelectric Effect===
: [[Light]] [[Energy Transfer|transfers energy]] which can be [[Absorb (Physics)|absorbed]] by a [[material]] causing [[electron]]s to gain [[energy]] and move.
: The '''photoelectric effect''' is used in [[Digital Camera|digital cameras]] to make a picture. The [[light]] is [[focus|focused]] through a [[lens]] onto a detector which generates an [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] depending on the [[Intensity|intensity]] of [[light]].
