Solution

Threshold Frequency :-
$\to$ Threshold frequency is defined as the
minimum frequency of light which causes
electrons to be emitted from
metal surface.
Photo electric work Function :-
It is the minimum energy required to
eject an electron from the surface
is called the photo electric work
potential.
