Question
Read carefully, then pick the best option.
In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength (λ)(\lambda) of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential (V0)\left(V_{0}\right) are given below :
λ(μm)\lambda(\mu \mathrm{m})V0(V_{0}( Volt ))
0.32.0
0.41.0
0.50.4
Given that c=3×108 m s1c=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} and e=1.6×1019Ce=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}, Planck's constant (in units of J sJ \mathrm{~s} ) found from such an experiment is
