Homework Statement
Why does the classical theory of light waves not explain the existence of a threshold frequency?
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure but I think that this is because each "photon" has a specific energy. If this energy is below the E = hf where f is the threshold frequency, it won't emit electrons.
Do all photons have the same energy supply?
Please, Help! thanks.
