Question:

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

Options:

charge on an electron                                               

 work-function of emitter

velocity of photon 

Planck’s constant

Correct Answer:

Planck’s constant

Explanation:

hf = W0 + (K.E.)

            or   K.E. = Kmax = hf – W0

            Comparing with y = mx + C, we find that  Slope m = h (Planck’s constant)
