| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | The theory first stated by Max Planck (before the Physical Society of Berlin on December 14, 1900) that all electromagnetic radiation is emitted and absorbed in quanta , each of magnitude hv , h being the Planck constant and v the frequency of the radiation. See radiation laws. (references) |
Electrical Engineering | The theory according to which energy may not be divided indefinitely, and its smallest unit is called a quantum. Source: European Union. (references) |
Energy | The concept that energy is radiated intermittently in units of definite magnitude, called quanta, and absorbed in a like manner. (references) |
Health | The theory that the radiation and absorption of energy take place in definite quantities called quanta (E) which vary in size and are defined by the equation E=hv in which h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of the radiation. (references) |
