The stopping potentials for light of frequencies $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ on a metal are $V_1$ and $V_2$. Planck's constant is given by
Answer: (C) $\dfrac{e(V_1 - V_2)}{\nu_1 - \nu_2}$
Concept. Einstein's equation at two frequencies: $eV = h\nu - \phi$.
Step 1. Subtract. $e(V_1 - V_2) = h(\nu_1 - \nu_2)$.
Step 2. Solve. $h = \dfrac{e(V_1 - V_2)}{\nu_1 - \nu_2}$.
Answer. $\dfrac{e(V_1 - V_2)}{\nu_1 - \nu_2}$ (Option C).
