DEAR XAVIER,
                   The theory of the photoelectric effect must explain the experimental observations of the emission of electrons from an illuminated metal surface . For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation below which no photo electrons are emitted. This frequency is called the threshold frequency.
