[determination of Planck’s constant by using light-emitting diodes (LEDs)]

APPARATUS: Planck’s constant kit, wires, graph paper, and 3-4 LEDs. Subscribe

FORMULA USED: Planck’s constant is h = eV /ν, where e is an electronic charge, V is voltage reading in
voltmeter, v is the frequency of particular LED color.

THEORY: The energy of a photon is given by the equation:

E=hν (1) Tweets by @apniPhysics

Where E is the energy of a photon, ν is its frequency, and (h) is Planck’s constant.

4. This voltage will be corresponding to the particular incident radiation energy.
5. If you need to know any other parameters, you can use this information (the current, the voltage, the color 21h
of incident radiation means the wavelength or frequency, so you can find the E=hv of the incident photon).

CASE 2. In the case of LEDs, the opposite of the above-mentioned working is true.

1. Here, in LED, If an electron of sufficient electrical energy (eV) is passed across a material then a photon
emits.
2. But remember, the meaning of passes the electron across a material here is a diode. Follow Me on Facebook
3. That has two types of semiconductors (n- and p-type) and a p-n junction. Near to the p-n junction, there is
a specific region known as the depletion region.

4. These electrons start from the n-region and after crossing the barrier (depletion region) reach in the p- 884 likes

region where they recombine and as a result, photon emits.

5. But to understand it you have to understand the energy band concept, this explanation is given in the Like Page Share

semiconductor laser topic.

Please note that all materials don’t show the photoelectric effect and emission of radiation like in LED. For LED
we use Ga As the material that shows the optical properties when electron-hole recombination takes place.

If you got the flavor of the second case then it will be clear that you need forward biasing for this purpose. Get Enrolled: Free Online Courses
When you providing a sufficient voltage to the electron to cross the barrier only then it recombines with holes.
And only then you can see the photons means that light.

So initially you can not see the light when you provide potential to the LED. But when you reach the threshold
value of voltage where the electron is able to cross the junction then only you see the light. This value of
potential you know is known as stopping potential.

Now the point is clear, also the emitted photon energy (hv) will be the same as the electrical energy of the
electron (eV). Because of this reason you use;

eV = h ν
    
h = eV / ν

This equation we will use to determine Planck’s constant.

PROCEDURE: DS by Dr Sushil Kumar

In Bachelor of Science degree (BSc)
1. Make the connection in the kit.
2. Take the current measurement of each LED by varying the voltage as given in the table.

3. Plot the curve on the graph paper between the frequency of color on X-axis and electrical energy on Y-
axis for all LEDs.
All Levels
4. The slope of the curve will give a measured value of Planck’s constant. 

5. Compare the measured value with standard value and check the percentage error.

As mentioned in the procedure plot a graph between the last two-column of the above table that is the
frequency of the particular LED and energy (eV). Take the slope of this graph and this will be your measured
value of Planck’s constant. Now compare it with the standard value (6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) and explain
the percentage error. Check your self that what can be the reasons for this percentage error.

LED you will observe that every LED starts with a specific value of the potential.

This value of the potential is known as the stoping potential and by this way, you can analyze the stoping
potential for each color LED. But to determine the Planck’s constant you will need a graph that points explained Free  Get Enrolled
