Practical - Planck's Constant
Measuring Planck's constant with a couple of different methods.
1. Measuring 'h' with Coloured LEDs
How to find the value of little 'h' yourself using some LEDs, a voltmeter and a variable power supply. Planck's constant is the constant of proportionality between the particle-like properties and the frequency of the associated wave.
2. Measuring 'h' with Coloured LEDs - Results
How to analyse some sample data to calculate a value for Planck's constant.
