If you didn't notice: in physics, quantities have *units*. h isn't simply 6.63 x 10^-34. It is 6.63 x 10^-34 Js (Joule times seconds)!


Nitpick. I don't like the way you spelled Js (I'm speaking from
the p.o.v. of ASCII text purposes). Perhaps J-s...but I don't like
that one either. Given the context of this post (which I've
snipped), it might even be better to take the time to write
the words out since the poster obviously has problems with dimensional analysis. I know it's a pain, but you may
spend less time in the long term writing the word out in
the first post; you may spend a hundred posts trying to
explain the abbreviation. 

Err, I *did* explain the abbreviation directly afterwards, in
the parentheses, so where is the problem???
