Measuring the Fundamental Planck's Constant Using LEDs

Measuring the Fundamental Planck's Constant Using LEDs

Derived Planck's constant from scratch by measuring the threshold voltage of four LED colors and relating the slope of voltage-vs-frequency to h, landing within 3.7% of the accepted value using a low-cost breadboard circuit.
