Photons (1959)

The film demonstrates an experiment using a photoelectric cell and a photo multiplier to show that light behaves as particles, specifically photons. By measuring the current produced when light strikes a metal plate, the experiment reveals the amplification of light signals and establishes that light is emitted in discrete packets rather than a continuous flow. The results indicate that photons can produce observable effects almost immediately after being detected, supporting the particle theory of light while also acknowledging its wave-like properties.
