When light with a frequency f1 = 547.5 THz illuminates a metal surface, the most energetic photoelectrons have 1.260 x 10^-19 J of kinetic energy. When light with a frequency f2 = 738.8 THz is used instead, the most energetic photo-electrons have 2.480 x 10^-19 J of kinetic energy

Using these experimental results, determine the approximate value of Planck's constant.

Answer:

The approximate value of Planck's constant is [tex]6.377\times10^{-34}\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency [tex]f_{1}= 547.5\ THz[/tex]

Kinetic energy [tex]K.E=1.260\times10^{-19}\ J[/tex]

Frequency [tex]f_{2}=738.8\ THz[/tex]

Kinetic energy [tex]K.E=2.480\times10^{-19}\ J[/tex]

We need to calculate the approximate value of Planck's constant

Using formula of change in energy

[tex]E = hf[/tex]

[tex]K.E_{2}-K.E_{1}=h(f_{2}-f_{1})[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{K.E_{2}-K.E_{1}}{(f_{2}-f_{1})}[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{2.480\times10^{-19}-1.260\times10^{-19}}{738.8\times10^{12}-547.5\times10^{12}}[/tex]

[tex]h=6.377\times10^{-34}\ J[/tex]

Hence, The approximate value of Planck's constant is [tex]6.377\times10^{-34}\ J[/tex]
