Photoelectron Kinetic Energy Threshold
When a certain metal was irradiated by light of frequency 3.2 × 10¹⁶ sec⁻¹, photoelectron emitted had twice the kinetic energy as did photoelectrons emitted when the same metal was irradiated with light of frequency 2.0 × 10⁶ sec⁻¹. The threshold frequency is :
