Question

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?

Answer 1

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} J.s$
