Photoelectric effect and study of photoelectric effect

Question

Figure shows the stopping potential (V)versus frequency (v) graph for photoelectric effect in a metal. From the graph, The Planck's constant (h) is y×1034Js. The value of y is 

Moderate
Solution

eV0=hνν0=hνhν0

              V0=heνhev0   ………..(1)

From Eq. (1) it follows that the slope of the graph is he. Therefore

               h=e× slope =1.6×1019×16.50(84)×1015=1.6×1019×16.54×1015=6.60×1034Js
