So, for example, we were talking about a threshold frequency as in a minimum frequency of light that you need in order to eject an electron from a metal surface.

举个例子来说，我们谈论的临界频率是,光从金属表面逐出一个电子,所需的最小频率。

So that's the important take-away message from this slide. If we think about these different types of lights, microwave light, if it's absorbed by a molecule, is a sufficient amount of frequency and energy to get those molecules to rotate. That, of course, generates heat, so that's how your microwaves work.

重要的信息，如果我们看看,这些不同种类的光，微波,如果被分子吸收，它的频率和能量可以,使分子转动,这当然的，会产生热量,这就是你们微波炉的工作原理。

So, for example, here we're showing rubidium and potassium and sodium plotted where we're plotting the frequency -- that's the frequency of that light that's coming into the metal versus the kinetic energy of the electron that's ejected from the surface of the metal.

让大家看来都是可以理解的事情,就是把不同金属的观测结果,画到一张图里面来，例如这里,我们展示的是钠，钾,铷的频率-这是照射金属的光的频率,和金属表面出射电子动能的关系。

So, one thing they did, because it was so easy to measure kinetic energy of electrons, is plot the frequency of the light against the kinetic energy of the electron that's coming off here. And in your notes and on these slides here, just for your reference, I'm just pointing out what's going to be predicted from classical physics.

他们做的其中一件事,因为测量电子动能是很容易的，就是画出光的频率,和出射电子动能之间的关系,在讲义的这里，仅仅是,为了做个比较，我要指出，经典物理所给出的预测,这个不作为对你们的要求。

So you know that x-rays are higher frequency than UV light, for example, that means it's also higher energy than UV light, and if you think back to our photoelectric effect experiments, do you remember what type of light we were usually using for those? Does anyone remember?

你们知道，X，射线的频率比紫外光高，这意味着，它的能量也比紫外光要高，那么，请大家回想一下我们的光电效应实验，大家还记得当时我们用的是什么光源吗？,有人记得吗？
