Max Planck
Erwin Schrödinger
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Max Planck, in 1900, proposed that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets called quanta. Other options are incorrect because Einstein showed that light could be thought of as photons in his 1905 paper, but he was applying Planck’s earlier idea rather than creating it; Niels Bohr introduced quantized orbits in hydrogen, but he did not create the idea of quantization itself.
