If the Planck constant tends to zero, it's obviously just getting smaller, so how would this describe classical physics?Classical physics can essentially be defined as the limit of quantum mechanics as the Planck constant tends to zero.
Is this a way of explaining it?:
If energy spacing E = hv, and h --> 0, then E --> 0, which is essentially a continuous energy spectrum and quantization and discreteness goes away. Hence classical physics.
Thanks.
