Max Planck
Quantum Theory
A theory first developed by Planck, of matter and energy based on the concept of quanta. It is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.
According to the Quantum Theory of complementarity, is light a particle or a wave?
Both
What was the equation that made Max Planck famous?
E=hv
Max Planck
German physicist who developed explanation of blackbody radiation in the context of quantized energy emissions, and initiated quantum theory (1858-1947)
In what form can electromagnetic energy only emit?
Quantized Form
Which theory originated with Max Planck?
Quantum Theory
The Planck Constant
The certain constant; he had noted that the energy of photons could only take on certain discrete values which were always a full integer multiple of a certain constant
Max Planck made the revolutionary discovery that the energy of vibrating molecules involved in blackbody radiation existed only in
multiples of certain fixed amounts.
What year was Max Planck awarded the Nobel Prize?
1919
