The stopping potential for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is plotted along Y -axis and frequency v of incident light along X -axis. A straight line is obtained as shown. Planck's constant is given by
Options
- Aslope of the line
- Bproduct of slope of the line and charge on the electron
- Cintercept along Y -axis divided by charge on the electron
- Dproduct of intercept along X -axis and mass of the electron
Correct answer
B. product of slope of the line and charge on the electron
Step-by-step solution
Einstein's equation is V= h e - h ₀ e Here, slope of line = h e h= Planck's constant = slope e
