1. Notes
The photocell in the Planck's constant apparatus is
highly sensitive. Bright light can cause it to age
quickly and can cause permanent damage. Following
irradiation it ideally needs to be left for quite a long
period before it regains its stability.
•
The protective cover for the photocell should
never be removed.
•
When the experiment is completed, slide the
empty sleeve over the collector tube of the pho-
tocell.
•
Keep the apparatus secure so that it does not get
shaken and do not expose it to extreme tempera-
tures, high humidity, moisture or direct sunlight.
