What you are suggesting though is not what is observed. What you are saying is similar to saying that by increasing the intensity of a light, you can knock off electrons from an Atom. This is NOT what is observed.

and what is intensity if not the number of waves over time.
I was previously talking about the energy interaction with electron, what about the material the electron is coming from ?
different materials different electron energy and different electron amount.
You sure the material itself plays no role ? sure you does, so think of the EM interaction inside this material.
(Have anyone ever get electrons by photoelectric effect out of a superconductor with no electron supply ??)
For the EM field to kick out an electron is not just the right amount energy in the right time required. What about the electron wave surrounding the nucleus and its configuration ? They not allays perfect for energy transfer.
Depends on material and not how much light is shining on it.
I hope you don't think electrons move in a perfect spherical motion if surrounded be other atoms, other wise the probability for the right configuration would rise with intensity of the light, which it's not, Material properties are responsible for electron number not intensity of light, but it's frequency.
Like I said, shorter wave length, shorter packet, more change in time unit, more energy.

your confusing the creation of an electromagnetic field with the photoelectric process there not the same
and you are saying it because what?.... somebody told you ?
so you are denying electrons as negative charge carrier witch interact with EM field ??
And electron proton iteration is not charge based ?
No electrons are not knocked from there orbit because of there charge theres no way lightcould have this effect but id be real interested on seeing you make that link.
and this because of what ? velocity difference between calculated electron velocity and the propagation velocity in
EM field ?
You do realize this statement makes zero sense right? Look you are obviously not understanding science in the least or we wouldnt get statements like this why on earth would you think how fast an em field is relevant since they all propagate at the same speed depending on the medium of course.
Well at least you know that electrons dont orbit in circles but it has nothing to do with the atoms around them so correction you got half a thing right.

First make up your mind which area of science your going to attempt to butcher your all over the place. The reasons chemical bonds occur is energy.Atoms bond with other atoms to fill their outer shells because it requires less energy to exist in this bonded state. Atoms always seek to exist in the lowest energy state possible.
So there must be no chemical bounds then, or are electrons responsible for that ?

If that was true, how do you explain the photoelectric effect? According to your claim, any frequency photon should have enough energy to eject an electron if we wait long enough, but that's not what we observe.

Shorter wave has more energy per unit time but one complete oscillation, one package or quanta of any frequency has to have always the same amount energy.

I could ask you the same, what are you doing here different than repeating mainstream science ?
Few hundred Years ago you would have argued with me the Earth is flat, right ?

Is there any photoelectric effect on insulators ? Where most of the electrons are in pair bounds and stable, not conducting ?

It's actually subtle but technically the photolectric effect does not exactly show the quantization of the electromagnetic field itself, but it does show quantization of the electron + electromagnetic field system. The conclusive demonstration of quantum nature of light took many more years later experimentally, true quantum optics experiments in very very dark conditions where single photon numbers could be counted.
It so happened that Einstein's intuition about quantization of EM field was also correct and logical given quantization of everything else so that people were practically using something close enough to the correct physics from the get go of QM to explain photoelectric and Compton effects.

Can someone of you explain in few understandable words why exactly electron does not collapses into the proton ?
They both have the same amount but opposite field strength
after this force, why protons stick in together in the nuclei and electrons like to couple in pares around it ?
actually think about a classical analogue: a charged electron and proton attracting one another. You ask "why doesn't the electron collapse into the proton?" Well, it would----but then, without dissipation, it would still have all its kinetic energy and keep on going straight through and then going out the other side. You'd need some kind of friction---in this case radiation damping---to get it to stop. Well, with QM the rules for emitting radiation at that level are different and so you do get this "friction" from radiation damping, but only when electrons drop from higher quantized energy levels to lower ones and emit a photon (or two), but there's nowhere to go once you've hit bottom orbital.

I think the PEP is not exactly the correct explanation for an electron vs proton because the electron and proton are not identical fermions. It is an explanation for why when you add more electrons to atoms the electrons aren't all in the lowest orbital which is the lowest energy state, where you'd otherwise expect things to pile up.
For a basic electron & protons I think the answer is that in effect the electron effectively has a deBroglie wavelength and the uncertainty principle still applies, so that if it were confined in space to have a very concentrated probability density ('where the nucleus is') then it would necessarily have a very wide momentum distribution and so immediately have a high probability of shooting out and no longer sticking around. (***) If you work out the balance between that and the electrostatic attraction you get the wavefunctions which are solutions of the Schroedinger equation in a central electrostatic potential, known in chemistry as 'orbitals'.

First there you would have difficulty you would have to have the law 1r/r(squared) be zero. For the force between two charges to be zero distance becomes infinite.This means opisit charges would rush towards each other bond and once together no force in the universe could separate them.

So in a non atom example, but purely proton and electron. If you place them near enough one another, what will happen?
Could it be in the atom example where the electron in lowest orbital/energy state around the nucleus does not fully attract to the proton be because of the particles angular moment, and how the nucleus' angular momentum and the electron angular momentum create 'patterns in those local EM fields' and those patterns are what bump up against each other and create the 'path of least resistance, and lacks of paths of least resistance', the prior being for the electron to stay in its orbit, the later being not to be urged to crash into the nucleus?
