VI. On the Planck's constant.---[ Return home ]

A very important thing to note, is that when the built simplified electron is at rest, with the Planck's constant h defined, the whole energy is hf.

If you accelerate the wave and if you change inevitably the frequency to f1 by the classical Doppler effect, the energy is h.f1 with the same Planck's constant.

But, even, if the wave goes in free fall to a place where the sound-speed is variable, as the frequency f1 may not change (in free fall) and obviously not the sound-wave energy which simply propagates, we have also E=h.f1.

But, according to the definition of the Planck's constant at rest where the sound-speed has a particular value: , the fact that this formula is also valid for an other place where the sound-speed is different with the needed frequency f1 different of f to reach that place after an acceleration, that means that when you displace the wave at position A with frequency f towards the position B with the frequency f1, the amplitude must change in order to maintain the value constant.

I search a thermodynamic or Doppler effect connected explanation for that, that I will certainly find in a few weeks. Nevertheless there is already the energetic explanation above.
