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.

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


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 value of plancks constant?

The value of Planck's constant is approximately 6.626 x 10^-34 m^2 kg / s. It is a fundamental physical constant that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.


How are the energy and frequency of electronmagnetic radiation related?

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its frequency. This relationship is described by Planck's equation: E = hν, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency. This means that as the frequency of electromagnetic radiation increases, so does its energy.

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

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

The energy of a photon can be calculated using the formula E = h*f, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J.s), and f is frequency. Plugging in the values, the energy of a photon with a frequency of 4.1 x 10^7 Hz would be approximately 2.72 x 10^-26 Joules.


What is the base unit of Plancks constant?

Planck's constant relates the energy level of radiation due to electrons moving from one energy level to another, by the formula Energy = (Planck's constant) x (frequency of radiation). Therefore the dimensions of Planck's constant are (energy)/(frequency) which means Joules x seconds In fact Planck's constant = 6.67 x 10-34 joule.seconds.
