For the photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy (Ek) of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency ( ) of the incident photons as shown in figure. The slope of the graph gives [figure]
- Planck's constant
- Work function of the metal
- Charge of electron
- Ratio of Planck's constant to electric charge
Answer
(1) Planck's constant
Solution
Einstein's equation: Ek=h - 0
Compare with y=mx+c slope = =h
Ek (energy, not stopping potential) is plotted, the slope is h, not he.
Answer: (1)
