How did Planck modify the classical theory of blackbody radiation to correctly determine his radiation law?

A.He found that the blackbody model was incorrect for purposes of theory
B.He accepted the Stefan-Boltzmann law
C. He assumed light was absorbed and emitted in quanta
D.He realized that the charge of the electron was not quantized
E.He proved the necessity of relativistic considerations


Assuming that light was absorbed and emitted in discrete quantities known as "quanta" was the only way for Planck's radiation law to work empirically. He also found that the producers of the photons must have discrete energies based on Planck's constant.

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air between the plates, is connected across a voltage source

This source establishes a potential difference between the plates by placing charge of magnitude 4.15 x 10-6 C on each plate. The space between the plates is then filled with a dielectric material, with a dielectric constant of 7.74. What must the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate now be, to produce the same potential difference between the plates as before?
