To calculate the value of Planck's constant from the given data in the photoelectric experiment, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between stopping potential, wavelength, and Planck's constant The maximum kinetic energy (K.E.) of the photoelectrons can be expressed as: \[ K.E. = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] Where: - \( K.E. \) is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, - \( h \) is Planck's constant, ...
