How do one derive the relation E=hf?
Undergrad How Is the Planck Relation E=hf Derived?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The Planck relation, expressed as E=hf, defines the energy (E) of a photon in terms of its frequency (f) and Planck's constant (h). This fundamental equation is derived from the principles of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory. The relationship illustrates the quantization of energy levels in photons, which is crucial for understanding phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation. For further exploration, refer to the Wikipedia page on the Planck relation.
