Cutoff potential?
hello, in the photoelectric effect what is the cutoff potential? the official definition in my textbook is that it is the "smallest potential difference sufficient to reduce the photo current to zero" you guys will probably laugh but that doesn't really make sense to me and I would really appreciate it if somebody could clarify it to me in simpler language.
thanks a lot.
