Demystifying The Planck Constant: Unraveling The Unit Of Quantum Energy
Planck’s constant, a fundamental physical constant, revolutionized physics by establishing the quantum nature of electromagnetic radiation. Its unit, the joule-second, quantifies the energy carried by a photon, the quanta of light. The reduced Planck’s constant, ħ, plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics. Planck units, derived from Planck’s constant, define the fundamental limits of mass,…
