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