Category:Definitions/Planck's Constant

This category contains definitions related to Planck's Constant.

Planck's constant is the physical constant $h$ which defines the quantum nature of energy and relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.

Thus:

$E = \dfrac h f$

where:

$E$ denotes the energy of a photon

$f$ denotes the frequency of that photon

$h$ denotes Planck's constant.

It is used for describing the behaviour of particles and waves at an atomic scale.
