In the Photoelectric Effect section:

"This allowed him to describe the photoelectric effect. Specifically, whenever hv was less than a threshold value for the substance called its work function, W, no light would be emitted. (The work function can be thought of as the “ionization potential” for a metal.)"

I believe this should be "no electrons would be emitted" photoelectric effect is light being shone on a surface and electrons being emitted.
