Planck's constant, denoted by the symbol "h," is a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics. It was introduced by the German physicist Max Planck in 1900. Planck's constant relates the energy of a photon to its frequency, and it plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of particles and electromagnetic radiation at the quantum level. Planck's constant has a value of approximately 6.62607015 × 10^-34 joule-seconds (J·s) in the International System of Units (SI). It determines the granularity of energy levels in quantum systems, such as electrons in atoms or photons in light. The product of Planck's constant and the frequency of a photon gives the energy of that photon. Planck's constant has profound implications for our understanding of the nature of matter and energy. It is a fundamental constant that appears in various equations and formulas in quantum mechanics, helping to explain phenomena such as the wave-particle duality of particles and the quantization of energy levels. | |||||
