Planck, Max, 1858-1947,
German physicist. From his hypothesis (1900)
that atoms emit and absorb energy only in discrete bundles (quanta) instead
of continuously, as assumed in classical physics, QUANTUM
MECHANICS was developed. Planck received the 1918 Nobel Prize in physics
for his work on BLACKBODY radiation. He was professor (1889-1928) at the
Univ. of Berlin and president (1930-35) of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for
the Advancement of Science, Berlin. Planck's constant is named for him.
Science, 1900
A new quantum theory enunciated by German physicist Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, 42, will have enormous impact on scientific thinking. Bodies that radiate energy do not emit the energy constantly but rather in discrete parcels which he calls quantums, says Planck.
Planck's constant
Planck's constant (plängks) noun Symbol h
The constant of proportionality relating the energy
of a photon
to the frequency
of that photon. Its value is approximately 6.626 × 10-34 joule-second.
[After Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck.]
imagine
events and conditions of existence that are contrary to the causal principle
as he knows it will never enrich his science by the addition of a new idea."
