jan 1, 1900 - Max Planck

Description:

Max Planck was a German scientist that created the Quantum Theory. In this theory, Planck stated that energy was given off in little packets of energy. These were called photons when talking about light. He discovered that the energy in wave form is restricted to specific quantaties. This discovery led to the understanding of energy levels in atoms, since quantums are leaps in the atom. This discovery later added to the advance in the atomic model.
