According to Planck’s quantum theory, energy is emitted or absorbed in:
-
A.
random energy bursts
-
B.
discrete packets called quanta
-
C.
infinite energy levels
-
D.
continuous waves
Correct Answer:
B. discrete packets called quanta
Explanation:
According to Planck's quantum theory, electromagnetic energy is not radiated or absorbed in a continuous manner. Instead, it is exchanged in small, specific units or individual packets of energy known as quanta. Each quantum carries a definite amount of energy that is proportional to the frequency of the radiation, fundamentally changing the understanding of energy distribution from a smooth wave to localized bursts.
