Define stopping potential.

In photoelectric effect, photocurrent

Observations from an experiment on photoelectric effect for the stopping potential by varying the incident frequency were plotted. The slope of the linear curve was found to be approximately 4.1 xx 10^-15 V s . Given that the charge of an electron is 1.6 xx 10^-19 C , find the value of the Planck's constant h.
