electrons are knocked off atoms causing electricity to flow
When you shine a certain level of light wavelength on metal, you can knock electrons off the atoms of the metal. This phenomenon was explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1921.

An electron ejected from the surface of a material by the photoelectric effect
Einstein's photoelectric effect work found that the incident light involved in the photoelectric effect was made of individual quanta (photons) that interacted with the metal's electrons like discrete particles, not waves.

There is the photoelectric effect, which is the process that emitts electrons from a metals surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. In the metal, the nuclei are surrounded by electrons, so when the incoming electrons strike the surface, they pull apart from the electrons of the metal because of how like charges detract from each other.

After irradiation with photons metals emit electrons.

Photo electrons. So current due to these photo electrons is named as photo electric current.
