Planck's Constant Lab Summary
This lab is designed to measure the infamous Planck's constant by taking advantage of the photoelectric effect. What my partner Tom and I did was essentially measured the stopping potential of the escaping electrons due to the incident photons of varying wavelenghts.
Data Summary
We measured two bands of spectra from a mercury light source, I will only report the results from the first order band in my summary, our measured value for Planck's constant was:
