waves r carries of energy,so according to this if intensity of incident light increase the emission of electrons should increase but in reality emission of electrons is independent of intensity.2.according to wave physics energy of wave depends on amplitude of a wave it means that light of any frequency can make electrons come out from metal but it doesn't happen ,light of certain fixed frequency can make electrons came out from metal.so the photo electric effect can only be explained by particle nature of light not wave
