Define the term "threshold frequency", in the context of photolelectric emission.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photoelectric Emission**: - Photoelectric emission refers to the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material (typically a metal) when it is exposed to light of a certain frequency. 2. **Role of Frequency**: - Not all frequencies of light can cause photoelectric emission. There exists a specific frequency threshold below which no electrons are emitted, regardless of the intensity of the light. ...
