Question
Define threshold frequency. How does it relate with the work function of the metal?
✓
Answer
The lowest frequency of light which can emit photoelectrons from a material is called the threshold frequency. This is represented by $\left(v_0\right)$.
It is directly proportional to work function of the metal.
