उत्तर
The slope of the cut-off voltage (V) versus frequency (v) of incident light is given as:
`V/v` = 4.12 × 10−15 Vs
V is related to frequency by the equation:
hv = eV
Where,
e = Charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10−19 C
h = Planck’s constant
∴ h = `e xx V/v`
= 1.6 × 10−19 × 4.12 × 10−15
= 6.592 × 10−34 Js
Therefore, the value of Planck’s constant is 6.592 × 10−34 Js.
