JEE Main Chemistry question

The characteristic not associated with Planck's theory is

(A)Radiations are associated with energy
(B)The magnitude of energy associated with a quantum is proportional to frequency
(C)Radiation energy is neither emitted nor absorbed continuously
(D)Radiation energy is neither emitted nor absorbed discontinuouslyCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Planck's theory holds that radiant energy is exchanged in discrete quanta (statement (a) is true), with each quantum's energy proportional to frequency, (statement (b) is true), and that this exchange happens discontinuously, in packets, not continuously (statement (c), "neither emitted nor
