Studies, CAS Einstein’s paper in March 1905 Planck proposed the radiation distribution，while Einstein suggested that the radiation consists of a gas of “light energy quanta” (Lichtenergiequanten), or simply “light quanta” (Lichtquanten), each with energy proportional to frequency. Among the 1905 papers Einstein only considered this paper “revolutionary” Planck derived this relation “Experiments are in unsolvable contradiction with classical mechanics and classical electrodynamics”
