Planck's law

(Physics / General Physics) Physics a law that is the basis of quantum theory, which states that the energy of electromagnetic radiation is confined to indivisible packets (quanta), each of which has an energy equal to the product of the Planck constant and the frequency of the radiation

[after Max Planck (1858-1947), German physicist]
