Definition: Photon

The tiny unit (packet or quantum) of radiant energy having energy equal to hvhv, where hh is Planck's constant and vv is the frequency of radiation, is called a Photon.

Key Points: Planck's Theory of Quantization of Energy

  • Proposition:
    Energy is emitted in packets (quanta).
    At higher frequencies, the energy of a packet is large.
  • Planck assumed that atoms behave like tiny oscillators that emit electromagnetic radiation only in discrete packets of energy E = hv, where v is the frequency of the oscillator.
  • The emissions occur only when the oscillator makes a jump from one quantized level of energy to another of lower energy.
  • This model of Planck formed the basis for explaining the observations of the photoelectric effect.
