In an experiment on the photoelectric effect, a metal is illuminated by visible light of different wavelengths. A photoelectron has a maximum kinetic energy of 0.9 eV when red light of wavelength 640 nm is used. With blue light of wavelength 420 nm, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is 1.9 eV. Use this information to calculate an experimental value for the Planck constant h. [
