The photoelectric effect has been discovered by H. Hertz, and studied experimentally by P. Lenard. First theoretical explanation has been done by A. Einstein who suggested the corpuscular theory of light introducing the "photons" which are particles of the light. In the framework of the Schrödinger theory the effect has been described first by G. Wentzel who calculated the angulardistribution of the photocurrent. The calculation relies on the perturbation procedure applied to the coupled Maxwell-Schrödinger equations.
