    Max Planck discovered the concept of quantization in 1900 while trying to understand black-body radiation. He hypothesized that energy can only be absorbed or released in discrete packets, which he called "energy elements". This allowed him to explain why heated objects change color. Planck reported his findings to the German Physical Society in 1900, introducing quantization and deducing values for the Planck constant and other fundamental constants. He was later awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his revolutionary discovery.

    The concept of quantization of radiation was discovered in 1900 by Max Planck, who had been

    trying to understand the emission of radiation from heated objects, known as black-body radiation.
    By assuming that energy can only be absorbed or released in tiny, differential, discrete packets he
    called "bundles" or "energy elements", Planck accounted for the fact that certain objects change
    colour when heated. On December 14, 1900, Planck reported his revolutionary findings to
    theGerman Physical Society, and introduced the idea of quantization for the first time as a part of his
    research on black-body radiation. As a result of his experiments, Planck deduced the numerical
    value of h, known as the Planck constant, and could also report a more precise value for
    the AvogadroLoschmidt number, the number of real molecules in a mole and the unit of electrical
    charge, to the German Physical Society. After his theory was validated, Planck was awarded the
    Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 for his discovery.
