Why LED?

• Syllabus– HKALE– HKDSE – Atomic World

• Let student familiar with the connection of the circuit – a taste of electronics

• Cheap– $0.5/LED– With $200 for setting up 10 set for assessment

Forward Bias

• Current starts to flow when the potential difference is large enough to overcome the barrier created by the electric field.

• When electrons cross the boundary and move into holes, they move from higher-energy states to lower-energy ones. Photons emit.

Experiment (1)

Page 7: Planck Constant Albert Hong St. Mark’s School. Why LED? Syllabus –HKALE –HKDSE – Atomic World Let student familiar with the connection of the circuit.

Experiment (2)

• By changing the voltage supply, different currents can be obtained

• y-intercept the graph equals to hc/q

• By giving students , h can be obtained

Experiment (3)

• The experiment can continue by giving students LED of unknown wavelengths

• Using h found to find unknown • Blue, green or even IR

Assessment

• Graph plotting technique – suitable scale

• Extract information from unfamiliar situation – no such experiment in most of the AL textbooks.

• 10 groups can be easily setup – TAS can be done in the same session

Extension

• Can integrate with the experiment of finding wavelength with diffraction grating

• Use the found to obtain h

• Investigation – different ways to find emitted by LED? Diffraction grating, circuit, etc.

Points to note

• Red LED’s spectrum is narrower – Better if you are using the LED in diffraction grating experiment

• Start measurement from Vin = 8-10V
