The value of Planck's constant is

A

6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J-sec

B

6.63 × 10³⁴ J/sec

C

6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg-m²

D

6.63 × 10³⁴ kg/sec

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Definition: Planck's constant (hh) relates the energy of a photon (EE) to its frequency (ν\nu) via the equation E=hνE = h\nu .
  2. Value: The accepted value of Planck's constant is approximately 6.626×10346.626 \times 10^{-34} J s , , , . In the context of the question, this is rounded to 6.63×10346.63 \times 10^{-34}.
  3. Units: Rearranging the equation to h=E/νh = E/\nu, the units are Energy ×\times Time (since frequency is 1/Time1/\text{Time}). The SI unit of energy is Joule (J) and time is Second (s). Therefore, the unit is Joule-second (J s or J-sec) .
  4. Dimensional Analysis: The dimensional formula is [ML2T1][ML^2T^{-1}], which corresponds to the unit kgm2s1kg \cdot m^2 \cdot s^{-1}. Option C (kgm2kg\cdot m^2) is dimensionally incorrect as it lacks the per second (s1s^{-1}) factor.
  5. Conclusion: The correct value and unit combination is 6.63×10346.63 \times 10^{-34} J-sec.
