If Planck's constant is denoted by h and the charge by e, experiments on photoelectric effect allow the determination of

A

only h

B

only e

C

only `h/e`

D

both h and e

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In photoelectric effect we cannot determine the values of h or e but we can determine the value of `h/e`. The slope of the graph of stopping potential `(V_(s))` against the frequency gives us the value of `h/e`.
