This is a question regarding photoelectric emission when I study Edward Willet's The Basics Of Quantum Physics
When frequency of the radiation increases at a constant intensity, the number of electrons emitted per unit time decreases. Why is that so?

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of, generally, a metal in response to incident light.
Energy contained within the incident light is absorbed by electrons within the metal, giving the electrons sufficient energy to be 'knocked' out of, that is, emitted from, the surface of the metal.
