Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies ${\nu _1}$ and ${\nu _2}$ of the incident light rays $({\nu _1} > {\nu _2})$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

Why can wave theory not explain the change in the kinetic energy of an electron with a change in the frequency of incident light?
