In particular, the energy of a photon equals Planck's constant times the frequency of the radiation. Mathematically, this is given by the equation E = hf. Planck's constant is the fundamental constant of quantum theory that determines the scale of the small-scale world.lanck's constant = 6.63 * 10^-34 joule-second (J-s). The total energy in an electromagnetic wave is the sum of the energies of each photon in the wave. The energy of a photon is so small that we usually measure it in electronvolts (eV). One eV is the potential energy of each electron in a 1-volt battery.
A social revolution inevitably encounters an obstacle in the form of the political power of the ruling class. Hence, the first act of a social revolution is political revolution, the attainment of state power by the revolutionary class.
The Enlightenment in England. The first major Enlightenment figure in England was Thomas Hobbes, who caused great controversy with the release of his provocative treatise Leviathan (1651). Taking a sociological perspective, Hobbes felt that by nature, people were self-serving and preoccupied with the gathering of a limited number of resources.
