Many  have suggested I study textbooks instead
of posting questions.  Which textbook do you
recommend that gives a scholarly explanation of
the following.
In the photo-electric effect, Einstein
hypothesizes that a photon's energy is
proportional to the light frequency.
Actually, this is an experimental result.  VLBA is based on it.
 I find that when the picture on a TV changes
from red to blue, there isn't a measureable
difference in the power consumption.
For a given intensity, there is a difference in "gun current".
Note that a very significant factor here is phosphor efficiency. In
the old days, the red phosphors were much less efficient than the
green & blue, and when red dominated the image, beam current would go
way up.

Big photons, eh, Smiffy?

Now you are groping at straws.

The photo-electric effect comes from individual waves being absorbed
in the aether. When they have enough energy they are ejected from
metal atom.

The energy is in the rate of frequency in the aether of the light
wave. There is no particle.
If there was what EM wave would it be in? The Electric or the
Magnetic?
Einstein questioned what he won the Nobel Prize for.
