What will I learn?
This course provides 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 data simulation, table creation, linear regression, deriving Planck’s constant and work functions, plus rigorous uncertainty and error assessment.
