A problem was posed about a month or so ago, about estimating Planck's constant given that one cannot get sunburned behind a glass window. O.K., I bite! All that I can guess is that there is an outer electron of the SiO2 molecule that has energy equal to -hf (f=frequency) for the low U.V. frequency. Is that it? Am I supposed to be able to estimate the outer electron energy level for that molecule? Help!
