The threshold wavelength of a metal is (...

The threshold wavelength of a metal is (` lambda_0). Light of wavelength slightly less than lambda_0 is incident on an insulated plate made of this metal. It is found that photoelectrons are emitted for sometimes and after that the emission stops. Explain.
