According to the wave picture of light, the free electrons at the surface
of the metal (over which the beam of radiation falls) absorb the radiant
energy continuously The greater the intensity of radiation, the greater are
the amplitude of electric and magnetic fields Consequently, the greater
the intensity, the greater should be the energy absorbed by each electron In this picture, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons on the
surface is then expected to increase with increase in intensity
