Max Planck is considered to be the founder of the quantum theory and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. ""Über irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" is a mathematical description of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a black-body.""Über irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge was published in five parts in the period 1897-1901, the present volume being number 1.""With the Kirchhoff-Wien-Boltzmann work as a background, Max Planck began his attack on the black-body problem in 1897. He labored under the erroneous impression for some time that Wien's formula was the only one which harmonized with the second law of thermodynamics. The experiments on black-bodies due to Lummer and Pringsheim, Rubens and Kurlbaum forced him from that position."" (Planck, Max. Catalogue 258, Interlibrum Vaduz) ""I had already been struggling with the problem of the equilibrium of matter and radiation for some years without success"" I knew the problem is of fundamental significance for Physics."" The significance was unparallelled, when he in December 1900 delivered a paper entitled ""On the Theory of the Energy Distribution Law in the Normal Spectrum"" before the German Physical Society, which today is considered the birth of quantum physics. The present volume constitutes a precursor to this work. - Akademie No 33

First edition of these fundamental and highly influential Planck-papers in which he defines his concept of entropy and heat radiation and hereby ANTICIPATES HIS FAMOUS SEMINAL PAPER OF 1900 which redefined physics and took it to the 20th century. - The first two papers ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" were rewritten for the ""Annalen"" and was first introduced in ""Sitzungsberichte d.k. Akad. Wissensch. zu Berlin"".""By invoking the hypothesis of natural radiation Planck not only succeeded in obtaining a relation between the energy of the resonator and the intensity of radiation for a given wavelength or frequency, but also in defining the entropy of radiation by a proper expression such that the change of the total entropy was always a positive quantity"". (Mehra, Jagdish. The historical development of quantum theory, 2001, p. 36). These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature.

First printing of an importent paper in which Planck tries to ecplains some of the difficulties with the quantum theory by pointing to the central exchange of energy between matter and radient energy and criticising Jean's theory.""Planck explained his point of view in some detail in an article which he submitted (the paper offered) in January 1910... There he reviewed the main progress in radiation theory that had taken place since 1900, and also indicated his own attitude towards it. Two extreme points of view, he said, could be assumed. The most conservative way was raken by Jans, who had derived from the equations of classical mechanics and electrodynamics the classical radiation equation. Since the equation obviously disagreed with experiments, the necessity arose to find a way of modifying the equations of dynamics so as to include the existence of the quantum of action 'h'.""
