📱 eBook en inglés QUANTUM THEORY

Quantum theory and quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Plancks solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and frequency in Albert Einsteins 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 particles 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. Feynmans celebrated best-seller QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter or Carol Rovellis 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
