The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory (Classic Reprint): Being the Nobel Prize Address Delivered Before the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at Stockholm, 2 June, 1920 - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory
Moreover, my suggestion that the resonator might be able to exert a one-sided, i. E. Irreversible, action on the energy of the surrounding radiation field called forth the emphatic protest of Ludwig Boltzmann who with his more mature experience in these questions succeeded in showing that according to the laws of the classical dynamics every one of the processes I was considering could take place in exactly the opposite sense. Thus a spherical wave emitted from a resonator when reversed shrinks in concentric spherical surfaces of continually de creasing size on to the resonator, is absorbed by it, and so permits the resonator to send out again into space the energy formerly absorbed in the direction from which it came. And although I was able to exclude such singular processes as inwardly directed spherical waves by the introduction of a special restriction, to wit the hypothesis of natural radiation yet in the course of these investiga tions it became more and more evident that in the chain of argument an essential link was missing which should lead to the comprehension of the nature of the entire question.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the Quantum Theory, tracing its development from its early origins to its impact on the physics of the day. The author recounts the challenges and triumphs encountered in the quest to understand the nature of energy and its relationship with temperature. Through a series of groundbreaking experiments and theoretical insights, the concept of the "quantum of action" emerged, challenging the established laws of classical physics. This revolutionary idea opened up new frontiers in understanding the behavior of light, atoms, and the very fabric of the universe. The book explores the profound implications of the Quantum Theory, including its influence on our understanding of thermal, chemical, and atomic processes. It highlights the contributions of key figures in the field, such as Einstein, Bohr, and Planck himself. Ultimately, this book offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in scientific history, revealing how the Quantum Theory transformed our understanding of the physical world and continues to shape the frontiers of scientific exploration. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
