Three Times And I am Light

Since most have found h the Planck's Constant to be accurate at,

h = 4.135667516e-15 eV

If we assume that photon-electron interaction is the same in metals with a threshold frequency, as of photoelectric effect.  That the mechanism of photon and electron collision is the same across such metals and so share the same probability function.  Then,

Emax(f)=E[KE(f)]=4rec.KEmax.f=h.f

h=4rec.KEmax

KEmax=h.c4re

and from

KEmax=mpc2Φ

mp=KEmax+Φc2

mp=1c2.(h.c4re+Φ)

and so, using potassium as an example, re = 235 pm and Φ = 2.29 V,

mp = (4.135667516e-15*299792458/(4*235e-12)+2.29)/(299792458)^2*(1.60217657e-19)

mp = 2.3554e-33 kg

This is my third attempt at mp.  From this value we obtain,

Energy of a photon is

Ep=mpc2 = (2.3554e-33)*299792458^2 = 2.1169e-16 J

Momentum of a photon is

Pp=mpc =  (2.3554e-33)*299792458 = 7.0613e-25 kgm s-1

Try once, try twice and maybe third time lucky.
