Notes
- 1.
Strictly speaking, we now know this to be untrue: if the light source is a high-power laser, then there can be such an enormous number of photons that there is a nonnegligible probability that a single electron can absorb two or more subthreshold energy photons simultaneously and gain sufficient energy to escape. This is similar to the basis of multiphoton microscopy discussed at the end of Section 1 of the previous chapter.
