What is threshold frequency in photoelectric emission?

The threshold frequency of a photoelectric effect depends on

Stopping poential for the electrons emitted due to incidence of light on a metal is 3V. Determine the frequency of this light and also the work function for metal. Given, the threshold frequency for photoelectric emission from that metal is 6xx10^(14) Hz .

What is threshold frequency in connecting with photoelectric effect?

The threshold frequency and the threshold wavelength of photoelectric emission from a metal surface are f_(0) and lamda_(0) . The frequency and the wavelength of incident light are f and lamda . Then

The maximum kinetic energy of photo electron emitting' from a metallic surface of work function 1.8 eV is 0.5 eV. The corresponding stopping potential is—

Einstein's equation for photoelectric effect is E_("max") = hf - W_(0) , where h = Planck's constant = 6.625 xx 10^(-34) J.s, f = frequency of light incident on metal surface, W_(0) = work function of metal and E_("max") = maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons. It is evident that if the frequency f is less than a minimum value f_(0) or if the wavelength lamda is greater than a maximum value lamda_(0) , the value of E_("max") would be negative, which is impossible. Thus for a particular metal surface f_(0) is the threshold frequency and lamda_(0) is the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emssion to take place. Again if the collector plate is ketp at a negative potential with respect to the emitter plate, the velocity of the photoelectrons would decrease. The minimum potential for which the velocity of the speediest electron becoes zero, is known as the stopping potential, the photoelectric effect stops for a potential lower than this. [velocity of light = 3xx 10^(8) m.s^(-1) , mass of an electron m = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg , charge of an electron, e = 1.6 xx 10^(-19)C The threshold wavelength of photoelectric effect for a metal surface is 4600 Å . Work function of the metal (in eV) is
