Ever watched a physicist desperately shine red light on metal and wonder why nothing's happening? That's the photoelectric effect trolling them hard. Low frequency light won't kick electrons out no matter how intense—like trying to make a basketball bounce by throwing ping-pong balls at it. Einstein figured this out in 1905, but some stubborn souls still think "MORE POWER" is the answer. Spoiler: those electrons aren't budging until you bring some proper high-frequency UV light to the party.
