Which is NOT a characteristic of Planck's quantum theory of radiation?
0.Radiation is associated with energy.
1.Energy is NOT absorbed or emitted in whole number multiples of quantum.
2.The magnitude of energy associated with a quantum is proportional to the frequency.
3.Radiation energy is emitted or absorbed in small discrete packets called quanta.
Explanation
According to Planck, energy IS absorbed or emitted in whole number multiples of quantum (nhν). Option B incorrectly negates this.
