It seems that the photoelectric effect is not dependent on the intensity of the light but its frequency and color. Would this assumption be correct?

The rate of photoemission is proportional to the intensity of the light.

Oh okay.But not the energy of the emitted electrons nor whether they are emitted or not.
What a ghastly headline. This is utterly misleading, in almost every way.Could there be a new kind of light in the universe? Since the late 19th century, scientists have understood that, when heated, all materials emit light in a predictable spectrum of wavelengths. Research published today in Nature Scientific Reports presents a material that emits light when heated that appears to exceed the limits set by that natural law.

What a ghastly headline. This is utterly misleading, in almost every way.
What the researcher has done is produce an optically tuned system that radiates, when heated, more than would be expected for a black body..... around one particular wavelength of the spectrum (1.7 μ, which is in the infra-red).
So it's not black body radiation at all, but more akin to the line or band emissions of quantum systems, such as electronic excited states or molecular vibrations and rotation.
It most certainly is not "a new kind of light in the universe". It is, however, very ingenious.
Don't worry, I'm not having a go at you. I've no doubt you posted this in good faith.Don't shoot the messenger.
That's why I post things in discussion forum's so they can be discussed and what lies in the shadows can be brought into the light.(no pun intended).
