3. With the advent of quantum mechanics, this size turned out to be equal to (Formula presented), where h is the Planck constant and f is the number of degrees of freedom. In classical systems, the size of the cells remains arbitrary, which is related to the fact that classical physics does not fix the constant of entropy.
