If monochromatic light is shining on an alkali metal and cesium is just above the threshold frequency, electrons in the cesium atoms will be ejected in a process called the photoelectric effect. These ejected electrons will have kinetic energy equal to the difference between the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal. The photoelectrons will be emitted instantaneously.
