Photoelectric Effect

Shows a teacher using a zinc plate, an electroscope and ultraviolet light to demonstrate the photoelectric effect and how it can readily be shown to a class. He then emphasizes the many pitfalls in gathering and interpreting data and demonstrates how quantitative data can be obtained and analyzed to yield a value for Planck's constant.
