terms:photoelectric_effect
Changes in the electrical characteristics of substances due to radiation, generally in the form of light. The photoelectric absorption of photons (gamma rays) in the photoelectric effect is one of the interactions between gamma rays and matter. See further explanation under photoelectric absorption, and compare pair production and Compton scattering.
