18	If photon energies are continuous and atomic energy levels are discrete, how can atoms absorb photons?
9	Is there a way to obtain the classical partition function from the quantum partition function in the limit $h \rightarrow 0$?
7	Why does the Boltzmann factor $e^{-E/kT}$ seem to imply that lower energies are more likely?
6	Does the uncertainty principle apply to photons?
4	Is the photon energy required to cause an atomic transition $\Delta E+\Delta KE$, where $\Delta E$ is the “transition energy”?
