Problem
Consider a hypothetical situation in which light possessed only wave properties and no particle character. \newline (i) Would a threshold frequency for photoelectric emission from metals still exist? \newline (ii) At a frequency below the present threshold, how would the stopping potential change if the intensity of incident light were increased? Give reasons for both answers.
