Question

What this statement proves that
By Planck's Quantum theory-
Energy is absorbed or emitted by the body is not in continuous manner but in discrete quantities

Answer 1

This statement tells that energy is either emitte or absorbed in the discountinous form which are called packets(quanta).Earlier theories said that energy travels in the continous form but later when Max planck gave this quantum theory,it was proved that energy do not travel continously but discontinously in the form of small packets.

Answer 2

It tells us that energy emitted or absorbed by any black body is not in continuous form but in discontinuous form ,

the energy carrier is photon and we can also call it quantum of energy .

each photons carry energy and it is given by...


=). E = hv

where ' h' is plank's constant

'v' is frequency of source..
