b. Give some examples from daily life that shows quantization

Planck made a radical proposal to explain the experimental results of the blackbody radiation. He proposed that the atoms on the surface of the heated solid could absorb energy only in discrete quantities or quanta, and not continuously as assumed by classical physics. The energy absorbed or released by any oscillator are in integer multiples, or quanta, of hv. This became known as Planck's equation. E = hv Energy, E, is equal to frequency, v, multiplied by Planck's constant, h, with a value of 6.626 x 1034 J s. According to quantum theory proposed by Planck, the amount of energy emitted or absorbed by a body can have values of hv, 2 hv, 3 hv, 10 hv, but never 4.8 hv or 0.25 hv. And because v=c/A, the equation can also be expressed as E = hv = h c/A
