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.
The elementary charge, usually denoted by e, is a fundamental physical constant, defined as the electric charge carried by a single proton (+ 1e) or, equivalently, the magnitude of the negative electric charge carried by a single electron, which has charge −1 e. [2] [a]
where c is the speed of light and h is the Planck constant. [5] The relative uncertainty, 5 × 10 −8 in the 2006 CODATA recommended value, [6] is due entirely to the uncertainty in the value of the Planck constant. With the re-definition of kilogram in 2019, there is no uncertainty by definition left in Planck constant anymore.
eV/T [3] 5.788 381 8060 (17) ... e is the elementary charge, ħ is the reduced Planck constant, ... having a value of approximately 2. ...
The Planck relation [1] [2] [3] (referred to as Planck's energy–frequency relation, [4] the Planck–Einstein relation, [5] Planck equation, [6] and Planck formula, [7] though the latter might also refer to Planck's law [8] [9]) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics which states that the energy E of a photon, known as photon energy, is proportional to its frequency ν: =.
(typically between 1 eV and 10 3 eV), where R ∞ is the Rydberg constant, Z is the atomic number, n is the principal quantum number, h is the Planck constant, and c is the speed of light. For hydrogen-like atoms (ions) only, the Rydberg levels depend only on the principal quantum number n.
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.
For example, the photons emitted by a radio station broadcast at the frequency ν = 100 MHz, have an energy content of νh = (1 × 10 8) × (6.6 × 10 −34) = 6.6 × 10 −26 J, where h is the Planck constant. The wavelength of the station is λ = c/ν = 3 m, so that λ/(2π) = 48 cm and the volume is 0.109 m 3.
