Q86 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

For the photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy Ek of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency (v) of the incident photons as shown in figure. The slope of the graph gives

Figure

  • A
    Ratio of Planck’s constant to electric charge
  • B
    Work function of the metal
  • C
    Charge of electron
  • Correct answer
    D
    Planck’s constant

Solution

Comparing Einstein's equation Kmax=hv-hv0, with y=mx+c, we get slope, m=h, which is Planck’s constant.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
