135. In not more than three lines for each answer, briefly outline one important scientific contribution of each of the following.
a) Planck
b) De Broglie
c) Heisenberg
a. Planck is responsible for first proposing that energy is quantized. He proposed that a blackbody can emit or absorb
electromagnetic energy E only in exact multiples of hv, giving rise to the equation E = nhv where n is a positive integer.
b. De Broglie proposed that particles can have some wavelike properties and developed a relationship which allows the
wavelength (a wave property) to be calculated from the momentum of a particle.
c. Heisenberg is responsible for the uncertainty principle which states that we cannot simultaneously know both the position (x)
and the momentum (mu) of a particle exactly. There is a minimum uncertainty, h/4 , in their product, which is a fundamental
property of matter, not an instrumental limitation.
