Re: Planck's Constant
Planck's constant, h, is equal to 6.62608 x 10-34 J*s. It's used when determining the energy of a photon using the equation E = hv.

Re: Planck's Constant
Planck's constant (h) is 6.626 x 10-34 Joule seconds (kgm2/s2). It's most often used in the calculation of energy of light alongside the frequency of that light (the equation E=hv).
Re: Planck's Constant
Another thing to note is that energy is proportional to its frequency. This is helpful in atomic spectra.

Re: Planck's Constant
Why do we multiply Planck's constant by the speed of light when finding energy. How do these have to deal with joules?
