Quantum Theory. E-book. Formato EPUB Max Planck - Balungi Francis, 2025 -
Quantum theory and quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and frequency in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, which explained the photoelectric effect. These early attempts to understand microscopic phenomena, now known as the "old quantum theory", led to the full development of quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s by Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Paul Dirac and others. The modern theory is formulated in various specially developed mathematical formalisms. In one of them, a mathematical entity called the wave function provides information, in the form of probability amplitudes, about what measurements of a particle's energy, momentum, and other physical properties may yield.Join the quantum pioneers on a thrilling intellectual adventure that probes the very essence of existence and invites you to question the nature of reality itself. This wonderful and exciting book is optimal for physics graduate students and researchers. Not since Richard P. Feynman's celebrated best-seller QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter or Carol Rovelli's Reality is not what it seems ( The journey to quantum gravity) has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. This book comes with an active table of contents:The Origin And Development Of The Quantum Theory Heat Radiation, Statistical Theory On The Quantum Theory Of Radiation And The Structure Of The Atom.On The Effect Of Electric And Magnetic Fields On Spectral Lines.The Theory Of Spectra And Atomic Constitution -Three Essays Essay I On The Spectrum Of HydrogenEssay II On The Series Spectra Of The Elements Essay III The Structure Of The Atom And The Physical And Chemical Properties Of The Elements
Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics by Max Planck and his 1920 Nobel Prize Address on the Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory. E-book. Formato EPUB Max Planck - Balungi Francis, 2020 -
The present book has for its object the presentation of the lectures which I delivered as foreign lecturer at Columbia University in the spring of 1909 under the title: “The Present System of Theoretical Physics.” It also includes the 1920 Nobel Prize Address on the Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory. The points of view which influenced me in the selection and treatment of the material are given at the beginning of the first lecture. Essentially, they represent the extension of a theoretical physical scheme, the fundamental elements of which I developed in an address at Leyden entitled: “The Unity of the Physical Concept of the Universe.” Therefore I regard it as advantageous to consider again some of the topics of that lecture. The presentation will not and cannot, of course, claim to cover exhaustively in all directions the principles of theoretical physics.
The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory by Max Planck with a Chapter on Heat Radiation. E-book. Formato EPUB Max Planck - Balungi Francis, 2020 -
Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the originator of quantum theory, which revolutionized human understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. The book is part of his 1920 Nobel Prize Address on the Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory and involves a detailed chapter on Heat Radiation.
