Planck constant
Definition(s)
- The Planck constant, or Planck's constant, is a fundamental physical constant of foundational importance in quantum mechanics. The constant gives the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency, and by the mass-energy equivalence, the relationship between mass and frequency. Specifically, a photon's energy is equal to its frequency multiplied by the Planck constant. The constant is generally denoted by h. The reduced Planck constant, or Dirac constant, equal to the constant divided by 2 π, is denoted by ℏ. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant)
