  Philipp Lenard Summary
Lenard made the interesting discovery that the velocity of electrons emitted during this process was affected by the wavelength of the incident light, and that an increase in that light's intensity increased the number of electrons emitted, but not their speed.
Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard, (Hungarian: Lénárd Fülöp) (June 7, 1862–May 20, 1947) was a physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1905 for his research on cathode rays and the discovery of many of their properties.
Philipp Lenard was born in Bratislava (then as Pressburg part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) on July 7, 1862, and he attended a Hungarian-language secondary school.

 Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard
Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard, in Hungarian Fülöp Lénárd (born in Bratislava on June 7, 1862 –; died May 20, 1947 in Messelhausen) was a physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1905 for his research on cathode rays and the discovery of many of their properties.
Lenard studied under the illustrious Bunsen and Helmholtz, and obtained his doctoral degree in 1886 at the University of Heidelberg.
Lenard is best remembered as an "experimentalist of genius" whose major contributions were in the study of cathode rays.

Lenard is best remembered as an "experimentalist of genius" whose major contributions were in the study of cathode rays.
The rays were difficult to study because they were inside sealed glass tubes, difficult to access, and because the rays were in the presence of air molecules (fully evacuated tubes didn't produce rays).
This much embittered Lenard, who became a prominent skeptic of relativity and of Einstein's theories generally.

Philipp Lenard was born in Bratislava (then part of Hungary) on July 7, 1862.
During the Nazi regime, he was the outspoken proponent of the idea that Germany should rely on "Deutsche Physik" ("Aryan physics") and ignore the (in his opinion) fallacious and perhaps deliberately misleading ideas of "Jewish physics", by which he meant chiefly the theories of Albert Einstein, including "the Jewish fraud" of relativity.
The radiant energy was difficult to study because it was inside sealed glass tubes, difficult to access, and because the rays were in the presence of air molecules (fully evacuated tubes didn't produce rays).

Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard (June 7, 1862 – May 20, 1947) was a German physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1905 for his research on cathode rays and the discovery of many of their properties.
It is hence sort of amusing to remark in this context the important role that Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect plays for appreciating the value of Lenard's work on cathode rays: without Einstein's theory demonstrating the importance of Lenard's observation, he might not have been awarded a Nobel prize.

 Philipp Lenard - Biography
Lenard's first work was done in the field of mechanics, when he published a paper on the oscillation of precipitated water drops and allied problems and in 1894 he published the Principles of Mechanics left behind by Hertz.
In the course of his work Lenard had, for the purpose of accelerating the speed of the electrons and measuring their energy, invented a photoelectric cell which was the first model of the "3-electrode lamp" which is so important today in radioelectric technique.
Von Lenard, who was married to Katharina Schlehner, died on May 20, 1947 at Messelhausen.

 The Photoelectric Effect
Lenard set up an electric circuit with a gap consisting of two metalic surfaces facing each other through a vacuum.
This was no real surprise, since Lenard knew that light was energy and that when energy is transferred to the electrons on one plate it could give them the energy boost they needed to allow them to escape one plate and travel across to the other.
Lenard added a twist to his experiment by applying a resisting voltage across the gap between the plates.

 Photoelectric Effect
Lenard used metal surfaces that were first cleaned and then held under a vacuum so that the effect might be studied on the metal alone and not be affected by any surface contaminants or oxidation.
Lenard connected his photocell to a circuit with a variable power supply, voltmeter, and microammeter as shown in the schematic diagram above.
What Lenard found was that the intensity of the incident light had no effect on the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.

Lenard was surprised to find that the stopping Voltage did not depend at all on the intensity of the light.
Lenard then used different light colors and found that the maximum energy of the ejected electrons depends on the color with shorter wavelength, higher frequency light caused electrons to be ejected with more energy.

 X-rays: The Unknown Glimmer
Following a suggestion by Max von Laue (1879-1960) in 1912, the father and son team, Sir William Henry Bragg (1862-1942) and Sir William Lawrence Bragg (1890-1971), perfected the technique of measuring wavelength of X-rays using a crystal (say Nacl) as a diffraction grating.
At the low pressures Crookes produced, the Geissler discharge disappeared and as the voltage was increased a new type of visible discharge appeared: a beam moving in straight lines from the cathode.
Lenard saw intense, easily visible fluorescence of the ketone screens and intense flening of photographic plates, but "only for a distance in air of a few centimeters".

L’annuncio della scoperta dei raggi X da parte di Röntgen, proprio usando un ‘tubo di Lenard’, lo irritò perché riteneva che senza la forzata interruzione delle sue ricerche sarebbe stato lui lo scopritore e sostenne con forza che avrebbe dovuto avere almeno un merito pari a Röntgen.
Lenard tuttavia non accettò mai l’attribuzione ad Einstein della legge dell’effetto fotoelettrico.
Si occupò anche della ionizzazione di gas per mezzo di luce ultravioletta (effetto Lenard), un ricordo dei suoi primi studi sulla elettrizzazione dell’acqua delle cascate.

In 1902 Philipp E. von Lenard found that the total photoelectric current is proportional to the intensity of the light and also that the energy of the ejected electrons has a sharp upper value.
However, attempts to explain the photoelectric effect on the basis of the wave theory of light failed.
Lenard’s measurements were too crude to verify Einstein’s theory, but some years later Robert A. Millikan carried out meticulous experiments that confirmed Einstein’s prediction.

Cuando dichos rayos (que son una mezcla de rayos catódicos y de los rayos emitidos por la placa metálica) se ponen en contacto con la atmósfera, producen fluorescencia y fosforescencia.
También se recuerda a Lenard por ser un nacionalista radical que despreciaba a los físicos ingleses al considerar que habían robado sus ideas de los alemanes.
