Week 09-10: Measurement of the Plank’s constant by studying the photoelectric effect.
Aims of the Experiment:
-
The Photoelectric Effect experiment allows students to directly observe the emission of electrons in a Photo Cell.
-
The experiment gives the opportunity to compare the Wave Model of light with the Quantum Model of Light.
