For the photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy () of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency (v) of the incident photons as shown in figure. The slope of the graph gives
  1. (A)Ratio of Planck's constant to electric charge
  2. (B)Work function of the metal
  3. (C)Charge of electron
  4. (D)Planck's constant✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Einstein's photoelectric equation gives


Plotting on the y-axis against frequency on the x-axis gives a straight line of the form , with slope and intercept .

The slope of the graph is Planck's constant.
