(10) The results shown in the table below were obtained in an experiment to estimate the Planck's constant (h).
(a) Use the relationship eV = hc to calculate a value for the Planck's constant, h
for each LED and hence obtain an average value for h. (b) Complete the table of results by calculating 1/lambda for each LED and plot a graph of V against 1/lambda and use the graph to obtain a value for h.

What exactly do you need help with? What have you managed so far?
I answered the full questions but the answers seem so far away from planks they couldn't be right a) 3.4x10^-38 b)6.4 x10^-33
i feel like the table is wrong
Other than the fact that they've definitely missed out a factor of 10-7 in the wavelength column, I don't see how you could be getting something around 3.4 for the Planck constant - they were all between 6 and 7 when I calculated the values. Wait, did you think the eV on the left meant 1 electronvolt?

i think I calculated the EV wrong i used EV = 1/2mv^2
