How photoelectric effect proves that light is also a particle?

I was watching this experiment (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-1zjdUTu0o) which demonstrates the photoelectric effect, but it does not make any sense to me that how it proves light as a particle instead a wave. Can you please explain me? And i also want to know that the electrons that are released by beam of UV light, where exactly do they go?
