About This Product
Inside the unit are the caesium antimony cathode, a DC power supply and a potentiometer that applies a variable retarding voltage to the photoelectric circuit. Coloured filters are changed to vary the frequency f of the light, and the retarding voltage is read on the digital display. The unit is designed to be used with a picoammeter, which connects through the lead supplied. Export enquiries for the Planck’s Constant Apparatus are welcome from Burkina Faso, Kyrgyzstan, Egypt, Uganda, Australia and Timor-Leste.
