Ionization is just raising electron energy level from $n=1 \to n=\infty$ (unbounded electron), plus for kinetic energy for escaping surface if something remains after. Besides my first references about raising energy levels was for explanation of why electron can't absorb arbitrary photons, which seemed that OP was assuming so with sentence "as electron have the energy transferred from earlier photon and next photon will transfer his energy too". The only exception to this is that big stream of photons may lower atom potential barrier. That was my post main point. | |

Aren't we talking about two different phenomena? With the photoelectric effect the electron is completely ejected away from the atom. Where as electrons being raised to higher energy levels remain bonded to the atom. | |
