  • Analysis of the results collected in the experiment to estimate Planck's constant. In video 1 threshold voltages across LEDs were measured to provide a way of measuring the amount of electrical energy used to emit photons of known wavelengths. In this video the results are analysed with the aid of a spreadsheet to estimate Planck's constant.
    Video 1 is available here: • Planck's Constant - Ex...
    You can do the analysis yourself with this worksheet to guide you through the steps: www.tes.com/teaching-resource...
    Note, this video contains some intermediate / advanced spreadsheet techniques to aid presentation of data in tables and to automate common calculations. This includes presenting data with scale factors, calculation of a gradient and y-intercept.
    The spreadsheet is available here: www.tes.com/teaching-resource...
    Relevant concepts: quantum physics, photons, wavelength, frequency, LEDs, electron kinetic energy.

    The reason you are so far off is because the given wavelengths are probably taken from the data sheets. The typical wavelength given in the datasheet is usually measured with a forward current of 20 mA. (Doing spectral analysis at intensities that are barely visible is really hard.
