MediumDefine threshold frequency.
(N/A) The threshold frequency is defined as the minimum frequency of incident radiation (light) required to eject photoelectrons from the surface of a metal.
If the frequency of the incident light is less than the threshold frequency,no photoelectric emission occurs,regardless of the intensity of the light.
It is denoted by the symbol $\nu_0$ and is a characteristic property of the metal surface.

View SolutionIn a photoelectric experiment,keeping the frequency of incident radiation and the accelerating potential fixed,if the intensity of incident light is increased,then:
$A$ photosensitive material is at $9\,m$ to the left of the origin and the source of light is at $7\,m$ to the right of the origin along the $x$-axis. The photosensitive material and the source of light start from rest and move,respectively,with $8\widehat{i}\,m/s$ and $4\widehat{i}\,m/s$. The ratio of intensities at $t = 0$ to $t = 3\,s$ as received by the photosensitive material is:
