Can anyone share original paper of Hertz experiment on photoelectric effect.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The Wikipedia article about the photoelectric effect has a link to it. Look in the "References" section.

[added] Ah, now I see you have to pay for access to the full article unless you have access through a university or other institution. Maybe if you do a Google search for the full title of the article...

Could you bring that for me, if you had any university affiliation

That would be a copyright violation, so no.

I'd have to check with my (former) college's library to see if I have access as retired faculty, but probably only personal use would be allowed; maybe also "institutional" use, i.e. sharing with colleagues or students there.

BTW, even though archive.org is very problematic when it comes to copyright violations, these publications are so old that their copyrights are no longer applicable, so the links are being allowed by the Mentors. :smile:
