What is the significance of the threshold voltage in an LED?

• It determines the LED's brightness.

• It is the voltage at which the LED stops conducting.

• It is the maximum voltage the LED can handle.

• It is the voltage at which the LED starts to conduct.

How does the color of an LED affect its threshold voltage?

• The threshold voltage is highest for red LEDs.

• All colors have the same threshold voltage.

• The threshold voltage is lowest for blue LEDs.
