Value Of Planck's Constant

What is Planck’s Constant?

In the quantum of electromagnetism, Planck’s constant is the physical constant that
relates the energy carried by a single photon to its corresponding frequency. Represented
by h and measure using J.s in SI system and eV.s in the MKS system. The value of Planck’s
constant has got prime importance in quantum mechanics. Therefore, Planck’s constant
can be de ned as,

A fundamental constant, equal to the energy of a quantum of electromagnetic radiation

divided by its frequency.

What is the value of Planck’s constant?

The values of Planck’s Constant or value of h is experimentally validated. The value of h is
given below:

Value of h In SI units h = 6.6260715×10-34 J.s

Value of h In Meter-Kilogram-Second(MKS) units h = 4.135667662×10-15 eV.s

Value of h in terms of Ep.tp 2 pi

Application of Planck’s Constant

The value of Planck constant is used in various applications including Planck’s equation
(https://byjus.com/physics/planck-equation/). For example, the energy associated with a
photon is given by the product of Planck constant(h) and its frequency.
Plank Constant is the inseparable part of some of the revolutionary formulas. The list
below gives a brief insight into it:
In Black body radiation, the spectral radiance of a body is given by:

2hν 1
Bν (ν , T ) = 2 hν

e B −1

In the photoelectric effect, the famous Planck Einstein relation is given by:

E = hf

In atomic structure, Energy of nth orbit is given by:

hc 0 R ∞
En = − 2

 Hope you got to know the value of Planck’s constant or value of h along with the its

 formula, units, and its signi cance and applications in various part of physics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the dimensional formula of Planck’s constant?
The dimensional formula of Planck’s constant is ML2T-1.

What is the use of Planck’s constant?

Planck’s constant is used for describing the behaviour of particles and waves at a atomic
scale. Planck’s constant is one of the reasons for the development of quantum mechanics.

What is Planck’s law?

Planck’s law states that the energy of electromagnetic radiation is con ned to quanta
which cannot be divided and has energy equal to the product of Planck constant and
frequency of the radiation.
