Quantum mechanics week 1 (random): Planck fortunate guess and approximations
less than 1 minute read
Published:
Something interesting in the formulation of Planck’s law is that its mathematical form was obtained before considering the quantisation hypothesis. In many sources, it is said that this is Planck’s fortunate or lucky guess. At that time, classical efforts gave two approximations for the black body radiation law, one in the high-frequency regime (Wien) and one in the low frequency regime (Rayleigh-Jeans).

Let’s start the journey with one of best examples of why quantum mechanics is necessary, i.e, a noticiable break of the predictions of classical physics regarding microscopic (nanoscopic?) phenomena.

I have to admit I’m a book hoarder. In between of the collection, a few books on quantum mechanics that I mostly got from charity ships are now reaching the surface in my room. Although not superstitious, I think it is a sign that it would be nice to devote time during the week to specifically learn (or relearn?) quantum mechanics.
