Photo electric emission cannot be explained using wave theroy of light. We need quantum theory.
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.

Light can be understood as both particles (photons) and waves. According to the wave-particle duality concept in quantum mechanics, light exhibits properties of both particles and waves. We cannot directly see light waves, but we can observe their effects, such as the illumination of objects or interference patterns, which can be detected by our eyes or scientific instruments.

It shows that light behaves as a wave phenomenon. Interference cannot be explained using a particle theory. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves/Lesson-3/Interference-of-Waves
1) Photo-electric effect. 2) Spectrum of black-body radiation. 3) Compton scattering spectrum. 4) Disappearence of interference pattern with two slits, if a way is made to determine which slit the light went through. All three of these can be easily explained by assuming that light is composed of photons, and that the energy of those photons is proportional to the frequency of the light. None of three can be explained by assuming light is purely an electro-magnetic wave.

no it isnt. It is a result of a phenomenon of light

Refraction is the phenomenon causes colors of visible light to be separated by a prism.
