This happens because light is made of massless particles called photons, which possess a certain amount of energy. When these photons strike the surface, they knock electrons off it; we call these photoelectron. Just because a light ray has a high intensity doesn't mean that it will cause the photoelectric effect. It can only happen if the frequency of the light rays is equal to or greater than a given value—known as the threshold frequency—of the metal. In this video, we have explained the photoelectric effect, threshold frequency and the work function in simple words\n
