The maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron liberated from the surface of lithium with work function $2.35 \text{ eV}$ by electromagnetic radiation whose electric component varies with time as: $E=a[1+\cos(2 \pi f_1 t)] \cos(2 \pi f_2 t)$ (where $a$ is a constant) is (given $f_1=3.6 \times 10^{15} \text{ Hz}$,$f_2=1.2 \times 10^{15} \text{ Hz}$ and Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}$) (in $\text{ eV}$)

Explain: "For photoelectric emission, the frequency of incident radiation should be greater than the threshold frequency."
