No, activation energy is a fixed value for a specific reaction and does not depend on collision frequency. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur, while collision frequency relates to the number of collisions that occur in a given time period.
The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the minimum energy required for reactant molecules to collide and form products. It represents the energy barrier that must be overcome for a reaction to proceed. If the energy of the colliding molecules is below this threshold, they will not react, regardless of their collision frequency. Thus, a higher activation energy means fewer effective collisions lead to products, slowing down the reaction rate.
Three conditions required for a successful collision theory are: sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier, proper orientation of colliding molecules, and effective collision frequency between reacting molecules.
Generally speaking, the lower the activation energy, the more successful collision between molecules will happen.
Cooling decreases the kinetic energy of particles, leading to slower movement. As a result, the frequency of collisions between reactant particles is reduced. This lower collision frequency can slow down the rate of a chemical reaction, as fewer effective collisions occur to overcome the activation energy barrier needed for the reaction to proceed.
More frequence = more energy.

Yes, a reaction may occur if the energy of the collision is equal to or greater than the activation energy. This is because the collision provides enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier and initiate the reaction.

I think the term you're looking for might be "activation energy", but if so that's a pretty poor way of describing it, so I'm reluctant to say definitively that that's the answer (there really isn't an answer to the question as written).
"Collisions may have enough energy to react yet not react if the orientation of the molecules is incorrect. Difficult to explain here without graphics, but basically of the molecules are facing the wrong way it won't happen."

Activation energy depends on the specific chemical reaction taking place. It is influenced by factors such as the nature of the reactants, temperature, and presence of catalysts.
More frequence = more energy.
The energy of an electromagnetic wave depends on its frequency. The energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave, meaning higher frequency waves have more energy.
