PLANCK'S CONSTANT BY LED SK014

 

Exp-1 Determination of material Constant h.
Exp-2 Determination of Temperature Coefficient of Current.
Exp-3 Determination of Planck's Constant by LED method.

  • It is a self contained unit.
  • Using LED method instead of photocell & monochromatic light source reduces cost.
  • Built - in power supply for Oven (oven ambient to 60°C, resolution 0.1°C).
  • Variable voltage source 0 - 2V DC, resolution 1mV.
  • Current meter 0-20mA / 2000mA.
  • In - built temperature sensor.
  • Photoelectric effect.
  • Photo cell.
  • Work function.
  • Planck's constant.
  • Photoelectric voltage.
  • Photon energy.

Principle and Working:
The photon energy by Einstein equation E=hv is equal to energy gap Eg between the valence and conduction bands. The energy Eg is equal to the energy barrier eV0, that electron have to overcome in going from n-doped side of diode junction to p-doped side when no external voltage V is applied to the diode.
In the p-doped side, electron recombine with holes releasing the energy Eg in the form of photon is given by equation

Eg = eV0

In the present setup ,the Planck Constant is given by
