Define threshold frequency.

Assertion : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon.
Reason : The ejection of electrons from a metallic surface is possible with a frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.

Light of a certain frequency and intensity incident on a photosensitive material causes the photoelectric effect. If both the frequency and intensity are doubled,the photoelectric saturation current becomes

Define threshold frequency and on which factor does threshold frequency depend?

Threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is $5200\,\mathring{A}$. Photoelectrons will be emitted when this surface is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from:
