Answer:

Explanation:

There is no Planck constant in Maxwell equations in this sense they are termed classical. To explain photoelectric effect the quantum nature of light has to be assumed. Because the (kinetic) energy of the emitted electron is proportional to the frequency of the light, not the intensity (a measure of amplitude).
