The invention discloses an open type photoelectric effect experimental apparatus and an operation method thereof. The open type photoelectric effect experimental apparatus comprises an LED light source, a plurality of optical filters of different colors, an aperture, a convex lens, a concave lens, a sample bench, and a photoelectric tube. The LED light source is disposed on a left side wall of a sealed housing, and the middle part of the housing is provided with a baffle. The baffle is provided with a light transmitting hole aligned with the LED light source. The plurality of optical filters are disposed on a rotating disc, and every optical filter is guaranteed to be aligned with the light transmitting hole, after the rotating disc is rotated. The rotating disc is rotatably disposed on the right side of the baffle, and the aperture, the convex lens, and the concave lens are, from left to right, sequentially disposed on a sleeve, and the centers are guaranteed to be aligned with the light transmitting hole. The right end of the sleeve is connected with an outer side wall of a sample testing cavity, and the sample bench is disposed in the sample testing cavity. The right side of the sample bench is provided with the photoelectric tube. Light energy space distribution difference is small, linear relation is good, and experiment effect is good. By comparing with a mercury lamp, non-toxic performance is provided. Voltage is low, energy is saved, a heating value is small, thermal radiation is reduced, and testing influences are small.
