The maximum kinetic energy (Kmax) of photo-electrons emitted in a photoelectric cell is measured using lights of various frequencies n. The slope of the graph is equal to |
charge on an electron work-function of emitter velocity of photon Planck’s constant |
Planck’s constant |
hf = W0 + (K.E.) or K.E. = Kmax = hf – W0 Comparing with y = mx + C, we find that Slope m = h (Planck’s constant) |
