What is the main topic of your project? What are you trying to explore?
The main topic of our project is researching and observing the photoelectric effect. We're trying to find out whether there is a relationship between the efficiency of electricity and the frequency and intensity of light and what kind of relationship it shows if there is one. Thus, from those findings, we are trying to find out if and how solar panels can be more efficient.

Since this source is about the photoelectric effect, it will help explain the process that is going on behind the phenomena we observe and it will lead us on what to expect from this experiment. This is relevant to our project because it explains how we came to understand that light contains energy, which is explained by Einstein's paper on the photoelectric effect, which basically says that lights contain photons and each photon contains energy that is determined by the frequency of the light.

The research paper documented the process of experimentally determining the value of Planck's constant, h. They have used respectively two methods: a) current-voltage measurements of a series of different colored LEDs; and b) a method based upon the comparison of the incident light beams values of potential arrest with different wavelengths on a photo emissive surface, using the photoelectric effect through an apparatus built on an optical bench.

My source talks more about the definition of the photoelectric effect and expands more on how we can see the effect in other areas like quantum mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. It is relevant to our project because, in the article, they talk about the intensity of light and how it influences the photoelectric effect.
