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.

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the plot of the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line, whose slope ______.
- In the explanation of photo electric effect, we assume one photon of frequency ν collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy Emax of the emitted electron as Emax = hν – φ0 where φ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency ν) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?

Comment on whether it is consistent with Einstein’s theory:
Radiation of frequency 1015 Hz is incident on three photosensitive surfaces A, B and C. Following observations are recorded:
Surface A: no photoemission occurs
Surface B: photoemission occurs but the photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy.
Surface C: photo emission occurs and photoelectrons have some kinetic energy.
Using Einstein’s photo-electric equation, explain the three observations.
