Classical Works which led finally to transform ideas of Classical Mechanics into Quantum Mechanics & its applications:- 1. The beginning of quantum theory was the discovery, by Max Planck, of the electromagnetic energy quanta emitted by a black body. The work was published under the title: “ Über das Gesetz der Energieverteilung im Normalspektrum ”2 in Annalen der Physik , 4 (1901) 553. 2. Four years later Albert Einstein published a paper “ Über die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt ” in Annalen der Physik , 17 (1905) 132, in which he explained the photoelectric effect by assuming that the energy is absorbed by a metal as quanta of energy. 3. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms are composed of a massive nucleus and electrons: “ The Scattering of the α and β Rays and the Structure o...
