This radiation shows wavelike behavior, which can be characterized by a frequency, ν, and a wavelength, λ, such that c = λν. Light is an example of a travelling wave. Other important wave phenomena include standing waves, periodic oscillations, and vibrations. Standing waves exhibit quantization, since their wavelengths are limited to discrete integer multiples of some characteristic lengths.

It highlights Max Planck's discovery that energy emits in discrete units called quanta, opposing classical physics' continuous energy view. A quantum is the smallest energy change for an atom, defined by Planck's constant h=6.626×10−34J⋅s. This principle is fundamental for understanding energy behavior at the atomic level.

This is called the photoelectric effect, meaning that light (photo) produces electricity. One common use of the photoelectric effect is in light meters, such as those that adjust the automatic iris on various types of cameras. In a similar way, another use is in solar cells, as you probably have in your calculator or have seen on a roof top or a roadside sign.
