Which principle suggests that the intensity of light determines its amplitude?(a) Huygens principle(b) Classic wave theory(c) de – Broglie hypothesis(d) Einstein’s particle theoryThis question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.I'm obligated to ask this question of Photoelectric Theory and Wave Theory of Light in division Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (B) CLASSIC wave theory

Explanation: The PRINCIPLE is the classic wave theory. The classic wave theory states that the intensity of LIGHT determines the amplitude of the wave. Therefore, a greater intensity of light will cause the electrons on the metal to oscillate more violently and also to be ejected with greater kinetic energy.
