{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002804",
  "term": "Cut-off filter",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An optical filter that transmits light above a certain wavelength and absorbs or reflects light below that wavelength. These filters are characterized by their cut-off wavelength, which defines the transition point between transmission and blocking. They are commonly used in spectroscopy and photography to isolate specific spectral regions.",
