Question

Describe the concept of energy quanta of EM radiation which was explained by Planck.

Answer 1

Energy does not occur in continuous amounts but in discrete amounts described by:

E = N h ∨ where N is the number of quanta (energy units), ∨ the frequency of the energy, and h Planck's constant (6.63E-34 J-sec)

Answer 2

Planck postulated that the energy of light is proportional to the frequency, and the constant that relates them is known as Planck's constant (h). His work led to Albert Einstein determining that light exists in discrete quanta of energy, or photons.
