What will I learn?
This course offers a quick, hands-on journey from basic principles to skilled data analysis in the photoelectric effect. You'll cover essential constants, Einstein's equation, and key concepts, then plan a real-world experiment by picking metal targets and measurement strategies. Gain skills in simulating data, creating neat tables, doing linear fits, finding Planck’s constant and work functions, plus handling uncertainties and errors like a pro.
