उत्तर
If light were strictly a wave, the energy in the light would be represented by the amplitude of the light wave. A more intense light source, even if it were of a lower frequency, would have enough energy to knock out electrons away from the metal surface, which is necessary to generate a photoelectric current.
What actually occurs is that the light below a certain threshold frequency does not generate any current, no matter how intense the light is.

Define the term "cut off frequency" in photoelectric emission. The threshod frequency of a metal is f. When the light of frequency 2f is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of photo-electrons is v1. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5f, the maximum velocity of phto-electrons is v2. Find the ratio v1 : v2.
