The energy (E) of a quantum of radiation -

E=hv

Where h is plank’s constant and \nu is frequency

-

Planck’s Quantum Theory -

Atom and molecules could emit (or absorb) energy only in discrete quantities known as quanta and not in a continuous manner.

-

Let n be the number of Photons emitted

\Rightarrow 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times n=60\times 10\times 60\times 60

\Rightarrow n=6.5\times 10^{24}
