Max Planck

Max Planck

• Max Plank (1858-1947), was a german scientist who was dedicated to studying quantum physics.

• He was the founder of quantum theory.
• He was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.

1.Quantum theory

2.Planck's constant

One of his most importants contribution was planck's constant.

Quamtum theory is a physic theory than describe the nature at atomic and subatomic level.

This physical constant is symbolized by the letter "h", and was ported by planck in 1900.

This constant allows us to determine the amount of energy corresponding to a quantum or photon.

Planck's constant

• This constant is capable of describing properties of matter that we cannot even see.
• That is, Planck's constant is a number that relates, by means of Planck's constant formula, the energy of a photon to the frequency of the wave.

Thanks Max !

Thanks to planck apart from the constant, he also gave us the law of black body radiation, and the third law of thermodynamics

Without his discoveries today there wouldn't exist computers or x-rays.
