plancks postulate

"energy does not occur in a continuous stream,

on the contrary, it can only occur in fixed,

discreet amounts (that planck named quanta)

and that quanta grow larger as the

wavelengths get smaller"

(approximately doubling and halving)

                    examples

for 100 metre wavelengths 100 quanta

for 50 metre wavelengths 200 quanta

for 25 metre wavelengths 400 quanta)
