Portrait of Max Planck (1858-1947),German physicist,Nobel laureate and originator of quantum theory. Planck was educated at the universities of Berlin and Munich,gaining his doctorate in 1880. In 1900 Planck published a paper in which he described a formula for the distribution of radiation emitted by a black body as a function of temperature and wavelength. To do this,he deduced that the radiation is emitted in discrete packages (quanta),and calculated a constant to enable their energies to be found. This,with Einstein's work,led to the end of Classical Physics. Planck was awarded the 1918 Nobel Prize for Physics as a result | |
