Planck's Constant is the Quantum of Energy and NOT "Quantum of Action" https://youtu.be/W6-FvG8OBAk

In this video I demonstrate FractalWoman's Modified Unit Analysis (MUA) and show that Planck's relation in Quantum Mechanics is unbalanced and leads to the misguided notion of "photons". 

Planck's Constant as Quantum of Energy via FractalWoman's Modified Unit Analysis https://youtu.be/UFg4wzaQGT8

In this video I compare the conventional view of the Planck's constant as being merely a proportionality constant to solve the blackbody radiation problem vs FractalWoman's unique insight that Planck's constant may actually represent the minimum energy unit of ALL electromagnetic frequencies. 

Historical Review of Planck's Law for Blackbody Radiation https://youtu.be/ItKjlvF9gic

In this video, I provide a quick review of the history behind Planck's Law, the formula derived by Max Planck in 1900 to resolve the Ultraviolet Catastrophe for blackbody radiation.

Blackbody Radiation Questions 3,4: Comparing Planck's Law to Rayleigh-Jeans Law for the Sun https://youtu.be/SL3z_KJ7yPw

In this video I graph out the blackbody radiation energy density for the Sun using both Planck's Law and the classical Rayleigh-Jeans Law. At high wavelengths, both models are similar but at low wavelengths the classical theory diverges wildly to infinity. This was the cause of the Ultraviolet Catastrophe.

Blackbody Radiation Question 2: Planck's Law Approximates Rayleigh-Jeans Law at Large Wavelengths https://youtu.be/p2a4QGnzlm0

In this video I show that using just the first term for the Taylor series expansion of the exponential function in Planck's Law, it becomes Rayleigh-Jeans Law. This results in a good approximation for Rayleigh-Jeans Law at large wavelengths since the extra terms of the Taylor series become very small.

Blackbody Radiation Question 1: Limit of Planck's Law is 0 as Wavelength Approaches 0 or ∞ https://youtu.be/8gcdHAhVVG0

In this video I show by using l'Hospital's Rule for indeterminate limits, that Planck's Law for blackbody radiation approaches zero as the wavelength approaches zero or infinity.
