he described light as little packets called photons
He wrote a paper that described the photoelectric effect. The paper contained equations used to explain why certain wavelengths of light cause the p-e effect but others do not and the energy changes in the electrons during the p-e effect.

He wrote a paper that described the photoelectric effect. The paper contained equations used to explain why certain wavelengths of light cause the p-e effect but others do not and the energy changes in the electrons during the p-e effect.
He was the first one to successfully explain this effect, and thus created the basic form of what became modern Quantum Mechanics (a theory that in its final form he rejected because it is probabilistic not deterministic).Note: Einstein did not receive his Nobel Prize for Relativity, but for his work on Brownian Motion and the Photoelectric Effect.
