The electricity produced by creating photo electrons is called:

1. Photoelectricity
2. Static electricity
3. Thermal electricity
4. Piezoelectricity

Correct answer: Photoelectricity

Solution

When light strikes a material and ejects electrons, the resulting electrical effect is called photoelectricity. The other options involve charge buildup, heat, or pressure, not light-induced electron emission.
