| Popis: | Quantum mechanics was initially invented because classical mechanics, thermodynamics and electrodynamics provided no means to explain the properties of atoms, electrons, and electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, it became clear after the introduction of Schrodinger’s equation and the quantization of Maxwell’s equations that we cannot explain any physical property of matter and radiation without the use of quantum theory. We will see a lot of evidence for this in the following chapters. However, in the present chapter we will briefly and selectively review the early experimental observations and discoveries which led to the development of quantum mechanics over a period of intense research between 1900 and 1928. |
