The wikipedia page on photoelectric effect
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_effect
talks of a 5th experimental result, which I hadn't heard before:
"The direction distribution of emitted electrons peaks in the direction of polarization (the direction of the electric field) of the incident light, if it is linearly polarized."
Is that true?
