cutoff frequency
Attenuation transition point
Cutoff frequency is the point where a filter or system stops passing signals effectively.
In electronics, it marks where output power drops to half its maximum—the boundary between frequencies that pass through and those blocked or attenuated.
Audio speakers have cutoff frequencies defining their usable range.
In physics, cutoff frequency determines whether light can eject electrons from a metal surface.
