The photoelectric effect was originally observed in 1939 and was documented by Heinrich Hertz in 1887. Initially, it was termed as the Hertz effect but later it was called the photoelectric effect.
In 1880 Hertz and Lenard observed that when a clean metallic surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of proper frequency, electrons are emitted from it. This phenomenon of ejection of the electrons from metal surface was called as Photoelectric Effect.
