No, radio waves and microwaves do not produce the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it is exposed to light of sufficient frequency (typically ultraviolet or higher). Radio waves and microwaves have lower frequencies and energies than light, so they are not capable of causing the photoelectric effect.
