Quantum is a discrete and the smallest natural unit of energy and momentum. Planck makes the assumption that every energy transfer on a sub-atomic level consist of small units, called quanta. The view of electromagnetic energy as photons reflects this quantization.
E = h x v E = energy h = Planck quantum of action = 6.6261 x 10-27 erg sec v = frequency. •Qu-Qu |
