How can Planck's constant be deduced from the graph of stopping potential vs frequency of light ? How can the work function be obtained from this graph?
slope = h/e
==> h = slope*e (here e = 1.6*10^-19 C)
y- intercept = -wo/e
==> wo = y-intercept*e (here e = 1.6*10^-19 C)

physics *Error in Planck's constant The slope of the stopping voltage versus frequency graph was found to be m = (4.36 ± 0.52) x 10-15 Vs. Using this value to determine Planck's constant we obtain h = 6.976 x 10-34Js. Determine the uncertainty in h. Express you answer to 2 significant figures in SI units. Entering numbers in scientific notation: Example: 1.45 x 10-9 should be entered as 1.45E-9
How can we use the y-intercept and the slope from the graph to
determine Planck's Constant and the work function in the equation
KEmax=hf−ϕ ?
(Note: I know the linearization is showing the y-int. and slope to
be zero because the values are so small, but conceptually how could
we do it?)

In the photoelectric effect, you got familiar with threshold frequency, stopping potential, and how they are inter-related. The wavelength() corresponding to the threshold frequency of potassium is 558 nm. What is the work function for potassium? What is the maximum kinetic energy of e- when light of 400 nm is incident on potassium? If the intensity of light is 10-2W/m², how many photons are incident per second per square meter? (4 points)
In a photoelectric eect experiment, the stopping potential is observed to drop from 5 V to 1 V when the wavelength of incident light is doubled. Determine the work function of the irradiated metal and the frequency of the light in the initial setup.
Compute Planck's constant knowing the work function (phi = 4ev), wavelength of light (lambda = 180nm) and the maximum photo-electron energy KE = 1.6eV.
In a photoelectric effect experiment in which monochromatic light of wave- length, X, falls on a potassium surface, it is found the stopping potential is 1.91 V for λ-3000 and 0.88 V for λ-: 4000 Á. For these data, calcu- late: a) Planck's constant using e-1.69 × 10-19 C, b) the work function. W, for potassium, and c) the threshold frequency, vT for potassium.
in a photoelectric experiment it is found that a stopping potential of 1.00 v is needed to stop all the electrons when incident light of wavelength 294 nm is used and 2.7 V is needed for light of wavelength 207 nm. from these data determine plank's constant and the work function of thr metal.
