Planck's constant was originally defined as the constant of proportionality in the relationship between the energy, E, of a charged atomic oscillator in a black body, and the frequency, ν, of its associated radiation. It is now defined, equivalently, as the quantum of action in quantum physics. Its value is 6.626*10^(-34) Joules seconds.

What is planck constant?
Planck's constant describes the ratio between the energy of an electromagnetic wave and the frequency of that wave.
Is Planck's constant a non repeating decimal?
No, Planck's Constant is a repeating decimal. 2/3E-33.
What is Planck's constant dimensionally equal to?
Planck's Constant is dimensionally equal to Angular Momentum. The unit is Joules second.
What if the value of planck's constant is increased to 1?
The value of Planck's constant depends on the system of units that are being used. The SI units are designed mainly for everyday measurements, where energies are usually of the order of kilojoules and a small period of time is a minute or second. However, the Planck's constant applies events at a subatomic scale so that these "normal" measurement units are not inappropriate.So the question changes in which units would the Plank's constant become 1. Further, the answer depends on how that change is achieved.
How does a change in frequency affect Planck's constant?
If Planck's constant could be affected, changed, influenced, impacted, modified, or revised by anything, then it's doubtful that the scientific community would refer to it as a 'constant', regardless of how great Planck was.
