How does Planck's constant relate to the photoelectric effect?

[Averie Moore 2F]

Planck's constant defines the quantum nature of energy and relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.

Hi,

According to the photoelectric effect equation, the energy of a photon is given by E = hν, where ν is the frequency of the light. In the context of the photoelectric effect, this energy is crucial because electrons are ejected only if the incident photons have enough energy to overcome the work function of the material (the minimum energy required to release an electron). Planck's constant is a proportionality constant between frequency and energy.

Plancks constant is used in the Plancks equation in order to find the energy of photons which is E=hv, h being plancks constant, v being the frequency of light.
