|    Can we use the units of Planks Constant     |
|    14 Feb 17 16:13:53    |
      The units for Plank's Constant is Joule-Sec/cycle. This can also be       expressed as Joule/Hz. Obviously, units for the product momentum times       wavelength (p* λ) or energy times time(e*t) also have the units for       Planks Constant. Does this suggest that values for either of those       products can only take on values that are integral multiples of Planks       Constant, h?              Specifically, isn't a more general equation, p*λ = n*h, where p is       momentum, λ is wavelength, h is Planks Constant and n is an integer ≥ 1,       implied by the fact that it is the **product** p*λ that is quantized and       not p or λ individually? When n=1 that equation reduces to the       DeBroglie's equation.111              Because it is the product, p*λ, that is quantized, could this be one of       the reasons that those two parameters are complementary? Since it is the       product that is quantized, shouldn't we expect strange behavior when we       try to measure either one individually? If it is the product of the two       that is quantized how is the quantized behavior divided among the       constituents?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
