My understanding is that theoretically energy transfer is a function of wavelength.
However, this is not true for EM interactions. If you shine infrared light on a solar panel, you'll see 0 current from it, even with an extremely powerful source of light (at some point the material might heat up enough it starts showing some thermo-electric effect, but that's a different thing). However, if you take even a very low intensity ultraviolet source, you'll see a measurable current right away. This is the unexpected behavior that quantized interactions have, which can't be reproduced with non-qunatized waves like sound waves.
