Einstein's 1905 work and 1921 Nobel were for the photoelectric effect, not the photovoltaic effect.
Beforeexplained theoretically by Albert Einstein in 1905 (for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics) | FAQ: "...first described by Edmond Becquerel in 1839 and explained by Albert Einstein in 1905 (for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics)."
Afterunderpinned by the same light-quantum principle Albert Einstein used to explain the related photoelectric effect in 1905 (for which he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics) | FAQ: "...first described by Edmond Becquerel in 1839 and underpinned by the same light-quantum principle Albert Einstein used to explain the related photoelectric effect in 1905 (for which he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics)."
Why: Body text was already correctly disambiguating that Einstein's 1905/1921 Nobel work was for the photoelectric effect, not the photovoltaic effect. However, the FAQ schema field still contained the original stale conflation ('explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics' describing the photovoltaic effect directly). Fixed the FAQ answer to match the corrected body-text framing, re-encoded and verified the FAQ JSON-LD structure remained valid after the PUT.
