Mar 21, 2015 at 11:35 comment added John Rennie @ACuriousMind: a sympathetic interpretation would be to ask if light has any interaction with free electrons that is analogous to the photoelectic effect, and this seems to me a reasonable if rather basic question.

Mar 20, 2015 at 23:42 comment added ACuriousMind "The photoelectric effect is the observation that many metals emit electrons when light shines upon them." - How is it meaningful to ask whether this effect happens for free electrons, when it, by definition, happens in metals?
