    Atttended Oberlin college in 1891. He got his bachelors degreein the classics. Then he got his doctorate in physics from Columbia University in 1895.
  • Planck's Discovery

    Max Planck discovered Quantum Machanics. He used heat and radation on materials. He drew conclusions from radiating atoms. Quantum literally means that energy is always emitted or absorbed in units. Plancks discovery helped to determine the amount of energy each electron cloud can hold. The formula for Plancks discovery is E=HV where H is a constant, V is frequency and E is energy.
