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

    A)  charge of the electron

    B)  work function of the metal

    C)  Planck's constant

    D)  ratio of the Planck's constant to electronic charge

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If \[{{V}_{0}}\] is stopping potential, then \[e{{V}_{0}}=hv-h{{v}_{0}}\] But         \[\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}=e{{V}_{0}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}=hv-h{{v}_{0}}\] or            \[KE=hv-h{{v}_{0}}\] Comparing with \[y=mx+c,\] we get Slope of curve m = h (Planck's constant)
