    The threshold frequency of Cesium is 5.2 x 10^14 Hz.

    To find the frequency of yellow light, we use the equation:

    speed of light = wavelength x frequency

    3 x 10^8 = 5.8 x 10^-17 x frequency

    frequency = 5.17 x 10^24

    This is higher than the threshold frequency of Cesium, thus, electrons will be emitted.
