Problem

A student determines the slope of the V0V_0 versus ν\nu plot for a metallic surface as (4.2±0.2)×10−15 V s(4.2\pm0.2)\times10^{-15}\,\text{V\,s}. Taking the elementary charge as 1.6×10−19 C1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C} (exact for this calculation), which of the following values for Planck constant hh with its absolute uncertainty most nearly matches the result? (a) (6.4±0.3)×10−34 J s(6.4\pm0.3)\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s} (b) (6.7±0.3)×10−34 J s(6.7\pm0.3)\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s} (c) (6.7±0.1)×10−34 J s(6.7\pm0.1)\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s} (d) (7.0±0.3)×10−34 J s(7.0\pm0.3)\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}
