In his first paper, Einstein applied German physicist Max Planck’s quantum theory to light to explain the photoelectric effect. He went on to win the Nobel Prize for this work in 1921.

Or the electrons could be knocked out of position if a charged particle passed by. Bohr turned to Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of most atoms.
