Suppose that a photoelectric effect experiment was carried out using light with v=7.501014s1 and ejected electrons were detected with a kinetic energy of 2.501011 J. The experiment was then repeated using light with v=1.001015s1 and the same metal target, and electrons were ejected with kinetic energy of 5.001011 J. Use these data to find a value for Planck’s constant. HINTS: These data are fictional and will give a result that is quite different from the real value of Planck's constant. Be sure that you do not use the real value of Planck's constant in any calculations here. It may help to start by thinking about how you would calculate the metal's binding energy if you already knew Planck's constant.arrow_forward
