The value of Plank's constant, if the slope of the graph of stopping potential vs frequency of incident light is 4×10-15 V s is (given charge of an electron =1.6×10-19 C)

  • A
    6.0×10-34 J s
  • B
    6.2×10-34 J s
  • Correct answer
    C
    6.4×10-34 J s
  • D
    6.6×10-34 J s

Solution

From Einstein's photoelectric equation,

eVs=hν-ϕ⇒Vs=heν-ϕe

Clearly, it is a linear relation between stopping potential and frequency of the incident light.

Therefore, slope of the curve is =he.

From question,

⇒he=4×10-15⇒h=4×10-15×1.6×10-19=6.4×10-34 J s

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