Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was a Danish physicist who played a key role in the development of atomic theory and quantum mechanics, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. First published in 1934, and reprinted in 1961, this collection contains four articles and an introductory survey. Originally written for various journals during the 1920s, the articles concern themselves with the epistemological significance of discoveries in quantum physics. Although aimed at physicists, they are generally non-technical, with only one using some elementary mathematics. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Bohr's contribution to physics.

Ams Pr Inc

This classic three-part work by Niels Bohr elaborates on the correspondence principle, a concept first introduced by the Nobel Laureate in 1913. In this series of papers published between 1918 and 1922, Bohr discusses the theory's applications from a uniform point of view and considers the underlying assumptions in their relations to ordinary mechanics and electrodynamics. He elucidates the outstanding difficulties, tracing the analogy between quantum theory and ordinary theory of radiation as closely as possible. The first part briefly discusses the theory’s general principles and deals with the application of the general theory to periodic systems of one degree of freedom and to a certain class of non-periodic systems. The second features a detailed discussion of the theory of the hydrogen spectrum that illustrates general consideration. The third and final part contains a discussion of the questions arising in connection with the explanation of the spectra of other elements.

On the Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra (Dover Books on Physics)

These essays and speeches by the Nobel Prize–winning physicist date from 1934 to 1958. Rather than expositions on quantum physics, the articles are philosophical in nature, exploring the relevance of atomic physics to many areas of human endeavor. Topics include light and life, biology and atomic physics, natural philosophy and human cultures, unity of knowledge, atoms and human knowledge, and physical science and the problem of life. An essay in which Bohr and Einstein discuss determinism in quantum theory and the future of the wave equation theory is of particular note. 1961 edition.
