Photoelectric Effect
  We can experimentally determine the stopping potential corresponding to various values of incident light frequency $ \nu$. The linear plot of $ V_s$ versus $ \nu$ enables us to determine the work function. The slope of the curve is given by $ \tan\theta = h/e$, which is used to determine the Planck's constant.
