I've read up on the history of quantization and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on why Planck actually quantized light. Some sources say that he came up with the idea of energy being quantized in order to solve the blackbody problem, whilst others say that he was trying to create a more efficient light bulb. Which is it or is it both?
Also, if he did quantize energy in the effort of trying to create a better light bulb, how does quantizing light help do that?
