Abstract

Abstract Photoelectric effect has been recognized as the direct evidence of light quantum and has been accepted and recognized by mainstream scholars. However, after careful study, I found that there are three insurmountable obstacles to explain the photoelectric effect by light quantum: the red limit is only related to the material properties and has nothing to do with the intensity of illumination, the angle between the direction of photoelectron movement and the direction of light illumination can be greater than 90 degrees, and the number of photoelectrons does not increase but decreases with the increase of the frequency of illumination when the frequency of illumination is high to a certain extent. Only when the photoelectric effect is explained in terms of the synchrotron effect can these three obstacles be avoided and all the problems related to the photoelectric effect be satisfactorily explained. At the same time, the experimental scheme of verifying the photoelectric effect as the synchronous acceleration of electromagnetic field is put forward.
