I had this freshman come to my office hours yesterday and asked how Planck knew that energy is quantized. I gave him a hand-waving answer, but then felt bad about not being prepared enough (even though the topic hadn't been covered yet in lecture) and prepared a long answer involving entropy and Boltzmann and the like to present in recitation today. Turns out the kid isn't even in my recitation. Damn freshmen. |

Well, now I want to know how he knew energy was quantized. I'll ask you next time I see you. |
