PLANCK'S CONSTANT BY Cs PHOTOCELL SK054

 

Exp- To determine Planck’s Constant by Cs Photocell.

  • Multipurpose electrometer amplifier.
  • Cs photo cell.
  • Multipurpose power supply.
  • Monochromatic light source may be used in many other experiments also.
  • Hexagonal optical bench.
  • Photoelectric effect.
  • Photo cell.
  • Work function.
  • Planck's constant.
  • Photoelectric voltage.
  • Photon energy.

Principle and Working:
Einstein postulated that light consists of a quantum of particles, called photon whose energy E is proportioned to the frequency n, by an equation, E = hn, where h is planck’s constant.
In this experiment, narrow band interference filters are used to select wave length, each filter selects precisely one spectral line from the light of a high pressure mercury lamp. The monochromatic light falls on the cathode of the photocell. A capacitor, connected between cathode and anode of photocell, charged by anode, is used. Electrometer amplifier is used to measure the voltage at capacitor without current.
