The stopping potential for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is plotted along Y-axis and frequency ν 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 = hν e - hν 0 e Here, the slope of the line = h e ⇒   h = Planck's constant = slope × e
