About the author

Max Planck, author of The Theory of Heat Radiation, presents his groundbreaking work in Quantum Theory, explaining the Theory of Heat Radiation itself. His Physical Theories reconcile the Electromagnetic Theory of radiation with experimental facts, leading to fundamental insights in Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics. Key concepts explored include the Quantum of Action and Elementary Quanta (Physics), revealing the Physical Significance Quantum mechanics holds for Radiation Phenomena and Molecular Physics. Planck details the characteristics of Black Radiation and the Black Body, deriving crucial relationships like Planck's Law (Radiation), the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, Wien's Displacement Law, and discussing Rayleigh's Law and Kirchhoff's Law. He analyzes the Spectral Distribution Energy, the Specific Intensity Radiation, and Volume Density Radiation across different Wave Lengths and Frequencies (Physics), including Monochromatic Radiation and Plane Polarized Radiation. The role of Entropy (Thermodynamic), Probability , Thermodynamic Equilibrium, and both Reversible Processes and Irreversible Processes are central to his arguments, contrasting with aspects of Classical Dynamics. Discussions cover concepts like Radiation Pressure, Coefficient of Emission, Coefficient of Absorption, and the properties of a Diathermanous Medium, often using the model of Ideal Oscillators. Planck's work introduces the concept of Natural Units (Physics) based on fundamental constants. This Classic Physics Text, a product of Physics Research (1900s), is now available as a Project Gutenberg book, representing a key contribution to Historical Physics.
