Planck postulate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Planck Postulate (or Planck's Postulate) was used by Max Planck in his derivation of his law of black body radiation. It is the postulate that the energy of oscillators in a black body is quantised by:

E=nh\nu\,,

where n = 1, 2, 3, ..., h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency.
