Definition: Planck's constant (h) relates the energy of a photon (E) to its frequency (ν) via the equation E=hν .
Value: The accepted value of Planck's constant is approximately 6.626×10−34 J s , , , . In the context of the question, this is rounded to 6.63×10−34.
Units: Rearranging the equation to h=E/ν, the units are Energy × Time (since frequency is 1/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) .
Dimensional Analysis: The dimensional formula is [ML2T−1], which corresponds to the unit kg⋅m2⋅s−1. Option C (kg⋅m2) is dimensionally incorrect as it lacks the per second (s−1) factor.
Conclusion: The correct value and unit combination is 6.63×10−34 J-sec.
