Explain the following observations using Einstein's photoelectric equation :
(a) Photoelectric emission does not occur from a surface when the frequency of the light incident on it is less than a certain minimum value.
(b) It is the frequency, and not the intensity of the incident light which affects the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
(c) The cut-off voltage ($V_0$) versus frequency ($
u$) of the incident light curve is a straight line with a slope $\frac{h}{e}$.
