Although rejected by optics, the atomic theories began making great. Einstein9810 in 1905 should be generalised by extending it to all material particles and notably to electrons. In addition, relativity theory requires that uniform motion of a material particle be associated with propagation of a certain wave for which the phase velocity is greater than that of light chapter 1. In this section, each stage is given a name and a main reference. Louveciennes, france, 19 march 1987, physics, quantum theory, wave mechanics. This, in combination with the compton effect discovered by arthur compton who won the nobel prize for physics in 1927, 5 established the waveparticle duality hypothesis which was a fundamental step in quantum theory. He gained worldwide acclaim for his groundbreaking work on quantum theory. This theory has strong relation with other previous atomic theory, especially the atomic theory from bohr. Diracs electron theory, the new theory of light, the general theory of spin particles, applications of wave mechanics to nuclear physics, etc. Is covering three giants of modern atomic theory in one ten minute video possible. He had been troubled by a curious contradiction arising from einsteins special theory of relativity. Thus the physicists of last century spurned absolutely the idea of an atomic structure of light. Modern physics 592008 overview basics photoelectric effect bohr model of the atom energy transitions nuclear physics basics quantization. Quantum mechanics has paved the way for new engineering inventions and.

He introduced his theory of particlewave duality in 1924. Ncert chemistry class 11 unit 2 broglie relationship. A century ago there were still questions as attractive as this, to which one might dedicate a doctoral thesis. After long reflection in solitude and meditation, i suddenly had the idea, during the year 1923, that the discovery made by author.
The interpretation of wave mechanics with the help of waves with. Articulate the implications of the heisenberg uncertainty principle. Quantum mechanics has paved the way for new engineering inventions and technologies, such as the laser and magnetic resonance imaging mri. On the background of the papers on trajectories interpretation, by d. Heisenberg has devel oped a more abstract theory, quantum mechanics, for which the basic principle was foreseen actually in the atomic. In 1905, einstein suggested that light has a dual character, and behaves both as a particle and a wave.
Interpretation of quantum mechanics by the double solution. Matter waves istituto nazionale di fisica nucleare. In his 1924 phd thesis, he postulated the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter has wave properties. Quantum mechanics is the study of the physics of the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Hey man, electrons can be treated like particles or wavesor both. In his 1924 thesis, he discovered the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter have wave properties.
