Meanings
1
Refers to a limit or critical point, such as a minimum amount, dose, or level that triggers an effect. Used in scientific, medical, and technical contexts.
The effective threshold of this drug is very low.
When the noise exceeds the threshold, an alarm sounds.
Usage patterns
- 閾値を超えるto exceed the threshold
When the intensity of the stimulus exceeds the threshold, the nerve becomes excited.
- 閾値を下回るto fall below the threshold
If the volume falls below the threshold, the alarm won't go off.
- 閾値を設定するto set a threshold (value)
We set a threshold value to adjust the sensor's sensitivity.
- 閾値に達するto reach the threshold
Once the pain signal reaches the threshold, it is transmitted to the brain.
