The Planck constant, or Planck's constant, denoted by , [1] is a fundamental physical constant [1] of foundational importance in quantum mechanics: a photon's energy is equal to its frequency multiplied by the Planck constant, and the wavelength of a matter wave equals the Planck constant divided by the associated particle momentum.
In particle physics and physical cosmology, the Planck scale is an energy scale around 1.22 × 10 28 eV (the Planck energy, corresponding to the energy equivalent of the Planck mass, 2.176 45 × 10 −8 kg) at which quantum effects of gravity become significant.
This equation is known as the Planck relation. Additionally, using equation f = c/λ, = where E is the photon's energy; λ is the photon's wavelength; c is the speed of light in vacuum; h is the Planck constant; The photon energy at 1 Hz is equal to 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 J, which is equal to 4.135 667 697 × 10 −15 eV.

The elementary charge, usually denoted by e, is a fundamental physical constant, defined as the electric charge carried by a single proton (+1 e) or, equivalently, the magnitude of the negative electric charge carried by a single electron, which has charge −1 e. [2] [a]
On 16 November 2018, the 26th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures decided to fix exact values of h (the Planck constant) and e (the elementary charge), [8] superseding the 1990 conventional value with an exact permanent value (intrinsic standard) R K = h / e 2 = 25 812.807 45...
A set of base units in the atomic system as in one proposal are the electron rest mass, the magnitude of the electronic charge, the Planck constant, and the permittivity. [6] [9] In the atomic units system, each of these takes the value 1; the corresponding values in the International System of Units [10]: 132 are given in the table.
The conductance quantum, denoted by the symbol G 0, is the quantized unit of electrical conductance.It is defined by the elementary charge e and Planck constant h as: = = = 7.748 091 729... × 10 −5 S.
