Planck constant is 4.135667516x10-15 (eV*s)

Planck described radiation emission as discrete packets, quantas, of energy.  Planck's constant (denoted h)  relates the wavelength to the frequency of an emission.  This constant defines the quantum of action in physics.  

Planck's constant is expressed in this equation in units of:

eVs

Notes

The Planck constant, h, is specified with a standard uncertainty of 0.00000009110-15 eV s

The relative standard uncertainty is: 2.210-8

See Uncertainty of Measurement Results, a discussion provided by NIST of the application of uncertainty to the documented constants.  http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Uncertainty/index.html
