What evidence does the photoelectric effect provide that photons are not only waves?

Definition
The photon electric effect provides evidence that an electron is ejected when a single particle of light interacts with a metal surface. When photons of sufficent energy strike a metal surface, electrons are ejected. The number of ejected electrons is proprtion to the number of protons striking the surface. If light was only a wave, then increasing the intensity of light should increase the energy striking the surface and thus increase the energy of the ejected electrons
