Planck's Constant by Leds
Item Code : SK014
Principle and Working:
The photon energy by Einstein equation E=hn is equal to energy gap Eg between the valence and conduction bands. The energy Eg is equal to the energy barrier eV0 , that electron have to overcome in going from n-doped side of diode junction to pdoped side when no external voltage V is applied to the diode. In the p-doped side, electron recombine with holes releasing the energy Eg in the form of photon is given by equation
In the present setup ,the Planck Constant is given by
h= eVoλ/c Where, Vo=V[ΔIn I/ΔT-1 X K/e Xη]
