For the photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy E k of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency ( v ) of the incident photons as shown in figure. The slope of the graph gives
Options
- ARatio of Planck’s constant to electric charge
- BWork function of the metal
- CCharge of electron
- DPlanck’s constant
Correct answer
D. Planck’s constant
Step-by-step solution
Comparing Einstein's equation K max = h v - h v 0 , with y = m x + c , we get slope, m = h , which is Planck’s constant.
