In a photocell circuit the stopping potential, V₀ , is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency v of incident light. The values of Plank's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking the magnitude of electronic charge to be . e =1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C )
