Planck's constant, h, is equal to .00000000000000000000000000655 erg-seconds. For any sort of light the energy multiplied by the period of vibration is always equal to h. To a physicist grouping within the atom, h and the quantum mechanics which have grown up around it are as important as bait, hook & line to a fisherman...
