Can someone tell me planck constant?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Planck constant, denoted as "h," is defined as 6.62606957 × 10-34 J•s in SI units and 4.135667516(91) × 10-15 eV•s in electronvolt seconds. While various experimental proofs exist, no one can provide every digit of the constant due to measurement limitations. The discussion highlights the consistency of the standard value across reputable sources, including David J. Griffiths's "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics," which also references the reduced Planck constant (ħ) as 1.05 × 10-34 J•s.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with SI units and their conversions
  • Knowledge of experimental physics and measurement accuracy
  • Basic comprehension of energy units like electronvolts (eV)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Planck constant in quantum mechanics
  • Explore experimental methods for measuring fundamental constants
  • Learn about the significance of the reduced Planck constant (ħ)
  • Investigate historical experiments that validated the Planck constant
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, particularly those focused on quantum mechanics, experimental physicists, and anyone interested in the precision of fundamental constants.

Every time i see it it's different. I want the full Planck constant(every number) and is there any proof for the constant?

The Planck constant is:
6.63 x 10^-34 J•s

The symbol is "h". You will have different values depending on the units used. For example, Planck Constant is also:

4.135667516(91) x 10^-15 in eV•s

There are various proofs of the constant on the internet. A lot of the ones I see are experimental proofs.

Nobody can comply with your request because nobody knows every digit - nobody can measure that accurately.
You can look up the standard value online. I don't know of sources disagreeing, can you supply an example?
There are many proofs for the constant - you can look those up too.
Do you have reason to suspect that it may not be?

Uh OK - in SI units: 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg / s But in unified units it is 1.
So, in that sense, you can know every digit ...

AS for proofs - see:

Ah I missed the "whole digit thing". Yeah, I agree with Simon! There isn't someone who actually knows every digit of the Planck constant.
 
Thank you all for the answers
 
An extremely strange request.

Zz.
 
David J. Griffiths's Introduction to Quantum Mechanics defines hbar=h/(2pi) =1.05x10^(-34)J•s, and calls it "Planck's constant" before backing up and calling it "his original constant (h) divided by 2pi."
