Frequency can be misleading



According to Planck, each energy element (E) is proportional to its frequency (ν):


Max Planck is considered the father of the quantum theory. where h is Planck's constant.
OK, fine. But Newton defined frequency as the infinitely sub-dividable number of events, a scalar. When things become finite divisible, then  frequency become quant, a slightly different thing. This can be confusing for a probability theorist coming straight from Newton land, because that person will say, no, frequency must be squared in this case, it is used as a rate of energy transfer. In fact, quantum physicists have to define frequency as change over some small dx*dt.

All Plank's constant does is scale one unit of proton quant to engineering units when the frame of reference is directly perpendicular to the surface of maximum divergence. It is the common prime multiple of all the energy modes in the proton.
