When light of wavelength 450 nm is incident on potassium, photoelectrons with stopping potential of 0.52 V
Question:
When light of wavelength 450 nm is incident on potassium, photoelectrons with stopping potential of 0.52 V are emitted. If the wavelength of the incident light is changed to 300 nm, the stopping potential is 1.90 V. Using only these numbers together with the values of the speed of light and the electron charge,
(a) Find the work function of potassium and
(b) Compute a value for Planck’s constant.

What I have learnt in my 8 years experience of tutoring is that you really need to have a friendly relationship with your students so they can come to you with their queries without any hesitation. I am quite hardworking and I have strong work ethics. Since I had never been one of those who always top in the class and always get A* no matter what, I can understand the fear of failure and can relate with my students at so many levels. I had always been one of those who had to work really hard to get decent grades. I am forever grateful to some of the amazing teachers that I have had who made learning one, and owing to whom I was able to get some extraordinary grades and get into one of the most prestigious universities of the country. Inspired by those same teachers, I am to be like one of them - who never gives up on her students and always believe in them!
