What is the Cut-off Frequency and How Does it Affect Signal Processing?

[Aafia]

This term is new for me so explain it simply ... and give a simple definition about cutt off frequency

Please give an example of where you have seen this.

If you've seen it on the internet, give a link, otherwise give the sentence i

Aafia, looking at this and your other questions, I think you will get more out of PF if you read this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/very-little-excuse-to-ask-a-question-cold.765735/

Also, you will have better luck if you spell it "cut".

Sory... i have search it in google but it use complicated words

I have seen it in physics book chapter about light and the topic is photoelectric effect ..

Thanks.

So you probably know that when you shine light on a metal surface, it ejects electrons. As the frequency of the light increases, the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons increases. As the frequency of the light decreases, the maximum KE of the electrons decreases, and there is a certain frequency at which the maximum KE of the electrons becomes zero. Below that frequency, the photoelectric effect doesn't happen. We call that the "cutoff frequency."

In general, a word or phrase can be used on more than one context, with different meanings in each context. Furthermore, different authors may use the same word in different ways, even though they agree on the mathematics that goes along with it. That's why it's important to tell us what you're reading about, and where you read it, and whatever equations go along with it, if any.

In this case, I can imagine "cutoff frequency" also being used to describe some kinds of electrical circuits, e.g. radio tuners.
