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'.""

Akad.

(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.‎

‎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

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- RARE ---- "Plateau was one of the best-known belgian scientists of the nineteenth century. He was a successful teacher and was also active in organizing the physics laboratory at the university... Plateau's work on molecular forces was published in a series of memoirs between 1843 and 1868 and again, with some revision, as a book in 1873. In this work he rationalized the arrangement, made corrections, and carried his historical account up to the year 1869. He has introduced new material on the superficial viscosity of liquids, and on the constitution of liquid veins, and made several smaller additions. At the end of volume 2 is a listing of articles which appeared after 1869. Plateau was concerned with the equilibrium of masses of liquid and with the properties of layers of liquids, and of columns of unstable liquids. his exhaustive analysis is illustrated with the results of experiments and with historical accounts of the development of related concepts... During his blindness, Plateau was aided in his work by his son-in-law G. Van der Mensbrugghe". (DSB & Bibliotheca Mechanica p. 256)**7077/M3‎
