Okay, thank you for your answer. As you can tell, yes I am indeed VERY confused.
So you're saying that E = hv is only applied to photons (particle nature of light)? and there is another equation stating the energy of a wave as a function of intensity (power transferred per unit area)? Or...
How does the photoelectric effect prove the wave-particle wrong? Higher intensity does not mean higher energy. If we were to assume the wave-particle model, an increase in intensity means an increase in the amplitude of the wave right? The energy of light is never dependent on amplitude, it is...
