Study Notes
- Planck's constant is a fundamental constant of nature denoted by the symbol h.
- It relates a photon's energy to its frequency and is important in quantum mechanics.
- Max Planck introduced Planck's constant in 1900.
Definition
- Planck's constant is defined as the ratio of a photon's energy to its frequency.
- The formula expressing Planck's constant: E = h * f, where E is energy and f is frequency.
Value
- The approximate value of Planck's constant is 6.62607015 x 10^-34 joule-seconds (J.s).
- The approximate value of Planck's constant in electronvolts is 4.135667696 x 10^-15 electronvolt-seconds (eV.s).
Significance
- Planck's constant is important for understanding matter and energy behavior at atomic and subatomic levels.
- Planck's constant is used in quantum mechanics, atomic physics, particle physics, and solid-state physics.
Applications
- Calculating photon energy using Planck's constant.
- Determining particle wavelengths through Planck's constant.
- Planck's constant aids in understanding laser behavior.
- Developing quantum computers is made possible with Planck's constant.
Fun Fact
- Max Planck first used Planck's constant to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe.
- The ultraviolet catastrophe was a classical physics problem where blackbodies were predicted to emit infinite energy at high frequencies.
- Planck's constant turned out to be a fundamental constant with major implications.
