### Step-by-Step Solution: #### (i) Two Important Features of Einstein's Photoelectric Equation 1. **Threshold Frequency Condition**: The first important feature of Einstein's photoelectric equation is that for photoemission to occur, the frequency of the incident radiation (ν) must be greater than or equal to the threshold frequency (ν₀) of the material. This means: \[ ν \geq ν₀ ...
