Some theorists have suggested that a limit may exist when photon
frequency approaches light velocity divided by Planck length. A
critical energy condition is found when photon wavelength is equal to
2pi (Planck length) (3/2)^1/2. I will label this wavelength L1.
L1 = 2pi (Planck length) (3/2)^1/2 = (3pi hG/c^3)^1/2
At this wavelength, photon energy can be specified by using either the
Planck constant or the gravitational constant.
E = h (c/ L1)
E = L1 (c)^4 (1/3pi G)
When the two energy values are equal, the L1 wavelength is required to
have the value (3pi hG/ c^3)^1/2. This photon wavelength has the
energy density to cause limit gravitational space curvature so it is
not probable that a higher energy density photon can exist.
When precise values for L1 and G are known, the Planck constant can be
derived.
