Scientia (hν)

All black body radiation
All the spectrum variation
All atomic oscultations
Vary as hν.

Ultraviolet ray vibration
X and γ ray pulsation
Ordinary light sensation
All obey hν.

(chorus)
Here's the right relation
Governs radiation
Here's the new
The only true
Electrodynamical equation!

Never mind your d/dt-squared
Ve or 1/2. mv-squared
If you watch
The factor c-squared
Is equal to hν.

And in matters energetic
Whether static or kinetic
Or electric or magnetic
You must obey hν
Also with things calorific
Such things as the heat specific
Yield to treatment scientific
When you use hν.

Here's the right relation [etc.]

There would be a mighty clearance
We would all be Planck's adherents
Were it not that interference
Still defies hν.
