Black-Body Radiation- An Explanation without Probability

by Devinder Kumar Dhiman

In the year 1900, the famous professor of physics in the University of Berlin, Max Planck, derived a formula for energy distribution of black-body radiation. He gave the explanation of his formula using quantization of energy, which was a great shift from the classical physics and led to the birth of Quantum physics.In this formula, he also made use of probability,which led to strange results and a requirement was always felt to prove the formula without probability. The author had derived this formula of physics without probability and published the results in the Indian Journal of Science and Technology. Since the article published in the journal is difficult to assimilate for the layman, the author has written this book explaining the derivation of the formula by traditional method as well as without the use of probability.

Easy to read, and comprehensive
Great effort to explain in a simple way the quantum and practical physics concepts
Liked authors approach to relativity

[Nikhil · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is rare to see an author go against something which is widely believed. In this book the author has tried to give a new view to the physics involving Black Body Radiation and has improved upon the formulae which was given by Max Planck 117 years ago. The concept given by author is both interesting and unique. Overall, a must read!

Excellent proposal on probability!

It explains in simple language some of very complex facts of Quantum mechanics. Using various techniques and formulas, the author has explained concepts very well, without the dependence on probability.

Bulb example has been used but the suggested techniques can be applied to the formation of radiation by sub-atomic participles.

This book explains the black-body radiation formula as derived by Max Planck in the year 1900, as well as through an alternative method independent of probability, published in author's article in Indian Journal of Science and Technology. The book is worth reading for all those interested in quantum physics.
