Question

Observations from an experiment on the photoelectric effect for the stopping potential by varying the incident frequency were plotted. The slope of the linear curve was found to be approximately 4.1 × 10−15 V s. Given that Exercises the charge of an electron is 1.6 × 10−19 C, find the value of the Planck’s constant h.
Numerical

Solution

Data: Slope = 4.1 x 10-15 V·s, e = 1.6 x 10-19 C

V0e = hv - hv0

∴ `"V"_0 = ("h"/"e")"v" - (("hv"_0)/"e")`

∴ Slope = `"h"/"e"`

∴ Planck's constant,

h = (slope)(e)

= (4.1 x 10-15 V·s)(1.6 x 10-19 C)

= 6.56 × 10-34 J.s `("as 1 V" = ("1J")/"1C")`
