Let's explore how the graph of stopping potential vs frequency can be used to calculate the Planck's constant experimentally! 
From Einstein's photoelectric equation, this graph is a straight line with the slope being a universal constant. This slope has the value of h/e. In an effort to disprove Einstein, Robert Millikan conducted experiments with various metals only to conclusively prove him right. Millikan, Einstein, and Max Planck, all won a Nobel prize for their contribution to photoelectric effect and giving birth to the quantum nature of light!
