First, you need to work out the energy produced ie. E=hc/ lambda then you subtract its work function from the energy produced ie. KE=E-Eo
It's all about electronics and something called an image intensifier (II). The II takes incoming light, which is of low energy in addition to their not being much of it, and it puts it onto an "electron emitter" where a photon of low energy light will kick out a photoelectron. This photoelectron (basically one photoelectron per incoming photon) is accelerated and then slammed into another "electron emitter" which will, because the incoming photoelectrons have been accelerated, kick out a bunch of photoelectrons per one of the incoming photoelectrons. That's the amplification part. The many photoelectrons now coming off this second electron emitter slam into a phosphor coated screen, and they cause the emission of enough photons to create an image the viewer can resolve. A link to the Wikipedia article on night vision devices is provided, and you'll find that link below.
This is because of the the fact that , the inter-particle interaction between electron-proton and electron-neutron, taken one attosecond to cease, only after which can a photoelectron be liberated from the forces of attraction and repulsions within the atom.
Some energy is lost in releasing the electrons from the nucleus. This energy is known as the work function, which relates to the threshold frequency. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the released photoelectron is equal to the photon energy minus the work function.

The utilization of photo-ionization and kinetic energy distribution analysis of emitted photoelectrons to study the electronic state and composition of the surface region of a sample is known as photoelectron spectroscopy. This technique can be subdivided into two areas: X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy.
