What are the contradictions between the wave theory of light and the laws of the photoelectric effect?
October 25, 2020 | Education
| According to the wave theory of light, the maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron should depend on the intensity of the incident light at a constant frequency, which contradicts the second law of the photoelectric effect. Also, according to the wave theory, as the frequency increases, the photoelectric effect should stop, which contradicts the third law of the photoeffect.
