Where is the significance of Planck's constant, and where does it come from?

The actual value for Planck's constant is 6.626 x 10^-34 J-s. It is required for his equation to work E = hv where h is his constant. Without the h the equation would simply imply that energy (E) is proportional to the frequency of the wavelength (v). By discovering the constant that completes the equality he was able to explain that energy is not a continuous flow, but is in small steps or "quanta". With his equation he could calculate the amount of energy for each frequency.
