the old quantum theory

According to Max Planck's Quantum theory, radiation is not continuous but is made up of tiny packets of energy called photons. However, this theory could not explain other optical phenomena. From all the above theories it is clear that certain optical phenome..

Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the..

In 1900, Max Planck presented the results of his famous black body radiation experiments, which showed that light has a dual character, behaving like a particle as well as a wave. He gave the Quantum Theory of Radiation explaining electromagnetic radiation and energ..

Two new theories came to substantially modify Bohr's Atomic model. They a..

Electromagnetic Radiation and Energy(Planck's quantum theory) - In 1900, Max Planck presented the results of his famous black body radiation experiments, which showed that light has a dual character, behaving like a particle as well as a wave. He gave the Quantum ..

Exploration of the planets by space probes has expanded our understanding of the solar system. Modern theories about the earth's origin explore how the earth fits into the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and the universe as a whole. Most scientists agree that the earth was probably fo..

The word 'Physics' comes from the Greek word 'phusis' meaning 'nature', introduced by the ancient scientist 'Aristotle'. Man has always been fascinated by nature. So, he questioned and sought answers for every phenomena nature could offer. The branch of science which is devoted to the study of nat..

. The radiation has a dual aspect behaving either as waves or as particles (waves when it interferes, diffracts and particles in a photocell). Einstein showed that a particle having a finite mass has been supposed to be associated with a definite amount of energy given by his mass-energy relationsh..
