(n)German physicist whose explanation of blackbody radiation in the context of quantized energy emissions initiated quantum theory (1858-1947), Syn.Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, Max Planck
(n)(physics) the basis of quantum theory; the energy of electromagnetic waves is contained in indivisible quanta that have to be radiated or absorbed as a whole; the magnitude is proportional to frequency where the constant of proportionality is given by Planck's constant
