The discovery of Planck's constant in the year 1900 was one of the most important discoveries that catalyzed the quantum revolution. What started as a simple idea to resolve one of the greatest physics mysteries of the time, turned out to be the key to unlocking the quantum realm. While Planck assumed that the constant would be 0 when measured the constant had a definite and real value, meaning that there was a lower limit on the universe. Preforming a basic version of this measurement is actually really easy and we explore the process of that measurement in this video using some LEDs and a diffraction grating.
