About the book >.>.> Before a revolutionary theory is formulated there is a profusion of experiments which relate to the problem at hand and contribute to its solution but which do not in general get to the heart of the matter. Even in this early stage of confusion certain experiments often stand out as particularly important but in retrospect one can always identify a small number of crucial experiments which firmly established the new interpretation of nature. The discontinuous behavior that characterizes the atomic world was first discovered by Planck’ in his analysis of the spectral shape (intensity of emitted light vs. frequency) of black body radiation. He could interpret the form of the experimentally observed curve only by assuming that the electromagnetic radiation was quantized in units of hy where h is a constant and is the frequency of the radiation.
