[EAN: 9780195023831], Near Fine, [PU: Oxford University Press], 8vo (23.5 cm), XVIII, 356 pp. Publisher's cloth (binding slightly rubbed at extremities, top edge little stained). The book explores the development of black-body theory and the emergence of quantum physics during the period from 1894 to 1912. In the late 19th century, physicists were trying to understand the nature of black-body radiation, which refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an idealized object that absorbs all incident radiation. At the time, classical physics, based on classical electromagnetic theory, failed to explain the observed distribution of black-body radiation. Kuhn's book examines the scientific debates and investigations that took place during this period. It delves into the work of prominent physicists like Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and others who played crucial roles in formulating a new understanding of black-body radiation., Books<
