Planck’s Constant

Experiment #22 from Advanced Physics with Vernier — Beyond Mechanics

In this experiment, you will

  • Collect and analyze current vs. potential data to estimate the energy required to excite a number of LEDs.
  • Use a spectrometer to determine the wavelength of the peak output of each LED.
  • Determine a value for Planck’s constant from an analysis of the energy and frequency of the light emitted by a number of LEDs.
