Question
a change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs?
frequency
energy
intensity
wavelength
The photoelectric effect occurs when photons of sufficient energy (related to frequency and wavelength) strike a material and eject electrons. Intensity is the number of photons. As long as individual photons have enough energy (determined by frequency/wavelength), changing the number of photons (intensity) won't affect whether the effect occurs, just the number of ejected electrons.
