In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength \((\lambda)\) of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential (\(V_0\)) are given below:

- Paragraph:
Consider a simple \(R C\) circuit as shown in Figure \(1\).
Process 1: In the circuit the switch \(S\) is closed at \(t=0\) and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage \(V_{0}\) (i.e., charging continues for time \(T>>R C\) ). In the process some dissipation \(\left(E_{D}\right)\) occurs across the resistance \(R\). The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is \(E_{C}\).
Process 2: In a different process the voltage is first set to \(\frac{V_{0}}{3}\) and maintained for a charging time \(T>>R C\). Then the voltage is raised to \(\frac{2 V_{0}}{3}\) without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for a time \(T>>R C\). The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to \(V_{0}\) and the capacitor is charged to the same final voltage \(V_{0}\) as in Process 1.
These two processes are depicted in Figure \(2 .\)
