I've never seen this stated, so this is a guess: probably from harmonisch (German for "harmonic"), since Planck was attempting to develop equations of motion for light by treating it as a set of harmonic oscillators.

Because A, B, C, D, E, F, and G where taken,

A -Avogadro'snumber.

B -Boltzmann'sconstant

C - Constant of Integration and Columb's charge

D - Dean number

E - Energy

F - Faraday's constant

G - Gravitational constant

How are the energy and frequency of electronmagnetic radiation related?

We need to know the equation E=h where h=plancks constant . From this equation you can see that energy and frequency are directly related ( one increases as the other one dicrease )


Is gas constant equal to planks constant?

No, gas constant is having a value of 8.314Jk-1mol-1 Whereas plancks constant has a value of 6.6*10-31


What is the energy of a photon having a frequency of 410E 7 hz?

use the equation E = hf where h is plancks constant E = 410E 7 * 6.63E -34 E = 2.7183E -23 joules


If the energy of an electron is found with Energy equals hc divided by lamda which contains only positive terms how can the energy of a bound electron be negative?

The h in the hc stands for plancks constant which is 6.63 x10^-34, which is negative. :)


A photon has a frequency of 4.0 multiplied by 104 Hz?

I assume the equation you're looking for is E=hv or E=hc/lambda. h is plancks constant and c is speed of light in m/s. lambda is in metres


What is the wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of 2.5 x 108 cm s1?

Wavelength = Plancks constant / (Mass x Velocity)

The de Broglie wavelength of an electron is 8.7 10-11 m The mass of an electron is 9.1 10-31 kg The velocity of this electron is ms?

wavelength = h/p (h= Plancks constant = 6.636*10^-34 kg*m^2/s) p=m*v Combining these gives us v=h/(m*wavelength)=8.37*10^6 m/s


How are energy and electromagnetic radiation related?

Electromagnetic radiation is one way that energy can be transfered across a distance. EM radiation can be thought of as packets of wave, each called a photon. A photon has a certain amount of energy, which can be found using the formula "E = hf", where 'f' is the frequency of the light, and 'h' is plancks constant (h = 6.626×10−34 Js).
