PLANCK'S CONSTANT

  • 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 p-doped 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

    Eg = eV0

    Exp-1 To determine planck’s constant.
    Exp-2 To verify the inverse square law.
