Why were electrons coming out from a metal when it was kept under a light source?

Q. Assertion :Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic light) is incident on a metal, the energies of emitted photoelectrons are different. Reason: The energy of electrons just after they absorb photons incident on the metal surface may be lost in collision with other atoms in the metal before the electron is ejected out of the metal.

Q. Free electrons present in metal atoms absorb energy from light and release back to produce the phenomenon of reflection. Which property of the metals is the resultant of this?

Q. There are a large number of free electrons moving randomly in a metal. At room temperature, why do they not come out of the surface of metal?

Q. The free electrons that are emitted from a metal surface, when heat energy is supplied are called _________ .
