- ktallett 5mo agoA nobel prize was very rarely given for theory, especially one that hadn't been stringently experimented on until the 50's to the -70's. The photoelectric effect definitely was more solid to give out the prize on. Saying this I think the Nobel prize is becoming less relevant, especially as nowadays one person is rarely the reason advancements are made.
