The photoelectric effect and the photon hypothesis

Does the stopping potential rise linearly with the frequency of the incident light, and does e times the slope of that line return h to within the uncertainty of the fit? Useful evidence includes stopping potentials at five filtered frequencies, a least-squares fit of Vₛ against nu with residuals, h as e times the slope and phi as minus e times the intercept, both with propagated uncertainty, and reverse leakage named as a systematic.

This GioPhysics course map is an adaptable learning sequence, not academic credit, accreditation, or a universal university syllabus. It is a first dedicated quantum-mechanics course, distinct from University Physics V, which covers quantum mechanics alongside atomic, nuclear and particle physics in twenty units: this course is narrower, slower, and teaches the linear algebra it needs rather than assuming it. Hydrogen appears here as an introduction, with the full radial derivation belonging to a second course. A midterm examination is assumed around week 8. Follow your institution's published scope, notation, laboratory programme, and assessment rules. A result should be checked against units, signs, limiting cases, and the conditions under which its model was derived.
