The Photoelectric Effect: An Example of the Mediation o f Teaching Learning Processes with Google Collaboratory

Abstract

The photoelectric effect, is a legendary experiment carried out masterfully by Robert Andrews Millikan, a renowned experimentalist, who despite his continuous contradictory opinions and conclusions about the observed quantum phenomena, historically was an essential protagonist in theconstruction of quantum physics. In this experiment, Albert Einstein's theoretical explanation of the photoelectric effect was confirmed, a precise determination of Planck's constant was obtained, and furthermore, it induced the beginning of the characterization of photoelectric materials. In this work, the photoelectric effect experiment, is used to implement an example of the mediation of teaching-learning processes with Google Collaboratory. This proposal, is part of the flow of events in the context of the new trend that emerges in the scenario of scientific, technological and technical development, is the beginning of a new and radical way to develop science, education and culture to continue constructing the scientific discourse of our time.
