Understanding Planck's Quantum of Action for Beginners

[Hakimderubeis]

So, I am doing a Uni project with Planck's constant. What I need to do is determine Planck´s "quantum action" with help from the Photo effect and reverse voltage method. The thing is that I have never learned Quantumphysics or stuff like that. So, what and where should I begin to learn?

(Sorry if this question doesn't belong here, first time writing in this forum)

Is there a formal description of what is expected from you?
You have offered no description of your level of schooling (it is very difficult to help in this circumstance)
What do you want to learn from this experience?

So, I need to make a scientific paper about this photocell experiment, where you need to determine the Plank's constant with the help of the photo effect and reverse voltage method. I am at the university but this is supposed to be an introductory work for quantum physics. What I am exactly looking for are not answers but places, books, or main topics for a better understanding of the experiment. I have never studied quantum physics but already learned electrostatics.

(You are doing fine.) Have you researched the "photoelectric effect" and "Einstein Nobel Prize" and Planck blackbody curve ? Wikipedia does OK on these I think.

hmmm, I am going to do that. Thanks, mate.
