Max Planck fut l'un des fondateurs de la mécanique quantique. De ses travaux fut conceptualisée l'ère de Planck, période de l'histoire de l'Univers au cours de laquelle les quatre interactions fondamentales étaient unifiées. Il fut lauréat du prix Nobel de physique de 1918 pour ses travaux en théorie des quanta. Il a reçu la médaille Lorentz en 1927, et le prix Goethe en 1945. - En 1878, il soutient sa thèse de doctorat sur « le second principe de la thermodynamique » et la notion d'entropie. Ses professeurs ne sont guère convaincus. Il passe néanmoins son habilitation en 1881 sur « les états d'équilibre des corps isotropes aux différentes températures », aboutissant aux mêmes résultats que ceux obtenus auparavant par l'Américain Josiah Willard Gibbs, dont les travaux étaient restés confidentiels. - À Berlin, il poursuit des travaux en thermodynamique, en électromagnétisme et en physique statistique. Planck rejette, dans un premier temps, le modèle atomiste des gaz de Maxwell et Boltzmann. Pour lui, la théorie atomique seffondrera à terme en faveur de lhypothèse de la matière continue. Il se rallie devant l'évidence à l'atomisme à partir des années 1890. À cette même époque, Lord Kelvin identifie le rayonnement du corps noir comme l'un des problèmes à résoudre. Joef Stefan, Ludwig Boltzmann, Wilhelm Wien s'y attaquent ainsi que Otto Lummer, Ernst Pringsheim, Heinrich Rubens, Ferdinand Kurlbaum, Friedrich Paschen et Lord Rayleigh. Travaillant à formuler avec exactitude le second principe de la thermodynamique, Planck sintéresse dès 1894 au rayonnement électromagnétique du corps noir. Il adopte les méthodes statistiques de Boltzmann. En octobre 1900, il détermine la loi de répartition spectrale du rayonnement thermique du corps noir en introduisant la constante de Planck, sans en maîtriser l'interprétation physique. Cest à la fin de 1900 quil présente sa découverte à la société de physique de Berlin. Cest la naissance de la théorie des quanta, qu'il ne contribue pas beaucoup à approfondir, laissant Albert Einstein l'étayer solidement. Planck a du mal à accepter sa propre hypothèse, rendant la matière « discontinue ». Planck devient, par la suite, l'un des premiers soutiens d'Einstein, bien que ce dernier fût très critique vis-à-vis des théories de Planck avant de reconnaître ses positions novatrices.

Il fut lauréat du prix Nobel de physique de 1918 pour ses travaux en théorie des quanta. Il a reçu la médaille Lorentz en 1927, et le prix Goethe en 1945. - En 1900, Max Planck découvre la loi spectrale du rayonnement d'un corps noir (publiée en 1901) en essayant de réconcilier la loi de Rayleigh-Jeans qui fonctionne aux grandes longueurs d'onde (basses fréquences) et la loi de Wien qui fonctionne aux petites longueurs d'onde (hautes fréquences). Il estime que sa propre fonction correspondait remarquablement bien aux données pour toutes les longueurs d'onde. La correction de la loi de Rayleigh-Jeans est particulièrement importante, car elle est construite sur une base théorique forte : la thermodynamique telle qu'elle était connue à l'époque ; mais souffre d'un défaut majeur aux longueurs d'onde courtes : la catastrophe ultraviolette. Ce point suggère que la thermodynamique est fausse. Planck essaye donc de produire une nouvelle théorie fondamentale destinée à remplacer la thermodynamique. Planck déduit sa loi de façon empirique. Il la justifie en postulant que l'énergie émise ou absorbée par les oscillateurs ne se fait que par petits paquets d'énergie E. Ces paquets seraient directement reliés à la fréquence des oscillations selon la formule qu'il expose le 14 décembre 1900 : E = hv où h est la constante de Planck ; et v est la fréquence du rayonnement électromagnétique. Cette hypothèse permet de limiter l'excitation des oscillateurs aux courtes longueurs d'onde, puisqu'ils ne peuvent absorber qu'une énergie au moins égale à hv. Bien qu'il soit facile maintenant d'interpréter cela en termes de quantification de la lumière en photons, Planck ne propose pas cette quantification. Cela apparaît clairement dans son article de 1901, dans les références qu'il y donne sur le travail qu'il a effectué sur le sujet, ainsi que dans ses Vorlesungen über die Theorie der Wärmestrahlung (Cours sur la théorie du rayonnement thermique, éditées en 1906 à Leipzig) où il explique que sa constante concerne les oscillateurs. À l'époque, cette relation n'est considérée que comme un artifice de calcul mathématique. L'idée de quantification est développée par d'autres, notamment Einstein qui, en étudiant l'effet photoélectrique, propose un modèle et une équation dans lesquels la lumière est non seulement émise mais aussi absorbée par paquets ou photons. C'est l'introduction de la nature corpusculaire de la lumière." fine copy, no markings - Dover Edition‎

‎First edition of these four fundamental and highly influential Planck-papers in which he defines his concept of entropy and heat radiation and hereby ANTICIPATES HIS FAMOUS SEMINAL PAPER OF 1900 which redefined physics and took it to the 20th century. - The first two papers ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" were rewritten for the ""Annalen"" and was first introduced in ""Sitzungsberichte d.k. Akad. Wissensch. zu Berlin"", 1897-1901.""By invoking the hypothesis of natural radiation Planck not only succeeded in obtaining a relation between the energy of the resonator and the intensity of radiation for a given wavelength or frequency, but also in defining the entropy of radiation by a proper expression such that the change of the total entropy was always a positive quantity"". (Mehra, Jagdish. The historical development of quantum theory, 2001, p. 36). These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature. ""Entropie und Temperatur strahlender Wärme"" is pivotal for understand how Planck reached his conclusions in ""Zur Theorie des Gesetzes der Energieverteilung im Normalspectrum"" and ""Ueber des Gesetzes der Energiverteilung im Normalspectrum"" (PMM 391) where by using the first two laws of thermodynamics first described by Rudolf Clausius and Ludwig Boltzmann Planck outlined the Quantum Hypothesis that energy from atom can be quantized. Planck established a connection between Wien's formula (Ueber die Energievertheilung im Emissionsspectrum eines schwarzen Körpers, 1896) and the analytic expression of the thermodynamic function. This paper represents a purely thermodynamic approach to the study of the properties of the radiation field which was fundamental in reaching the famous conclusions in his 1900- and 1901-paper.

‎First appearance of all 4 papers constituting Planck's seminal papers on entropy carrying the general title ""On the principles of Increase of Entropy"" in which he applied the second law of thermodynamics to chemical problems.""His goal was, as he said in the first paper of the series, to carry further the ""grand generalization"" of Helmholtz, Josiah Willard Gibbs, and others: like the first principle of the mechanical heat theory, the second, the ""Carnot-Clausius"", principle applies not only to heat phenomena but to all kinds of physical and chemical phenomena"" and because the second principle applies not only to reversible processes but also to irreversible, or ""natural"", processes, it applies to all processes whatsoever...""(Jungnickel and McCormach ""Intellectual Mastery of Nature, vol. 2, pp. 52 ff.)What Einstein admired and called Planck's ""first great scientific discovery"" was the generality of its formulas which contain all that can be derived from pure thermodynamic principles.

‎Max Planck is considered to be the founder of the quantum theory and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. ""Über irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" is a mathematical description of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a black-body.""Über irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge was published in five parts in the period 1897-1901, the present volume being number 1.""With the Kirchhoff-Wien-Boltzmann work as a background, Max Planck began his attack on the black-body problem in 1897. He labored under the erroneous impression for some time that Wien's formula was the only one which harmonized with the second law of thermodynamics. The experiments on black-bodies due to Lummer and Pringsheim, Rubens and Kurlbaum forced him from that position."" (Planck, Max. Catalogue 258, Interlibrum Vaduz) ""I had already been struggling with the problem of the equilibrium of matter and radiation for some years without success"" I knew the problem is of fundamental significance for Physics."" The significance was unparallelled, when he in December 1900 delivered a paper entitled ""On the Theory of the Energy Distribution Law in the Normal Spectrum"" before the German Physical Society, which today is considered the birth of quantum physics.

Planck and in particular Niels Bohr.""""In their famous experiments, Franck and Hertz' showed that electrons could impart energy to a mercury atom only if they had a kinetic energy exceeding 4.9 ev., and that exactly this quantum of energy was taken up by the mercury atom, causing it to emit light of the resonance line Å 2537. It was the first direct proof of the quantized nature of the energy transfer and of the connection of the quantum DeltaE of energy with the frequency p = DeltaE/h of the light emitted as the result of the transfer.

These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature.‎

‎First appearance of Planck's seminal paper on entropy carrying the general title ""On the principles of Increase of Entropy"" in which he applied the second law of thermodynamics to chemical problems. The paper is part of the 4 paper series on the subject.""His goal was, as he said in the first paper of the series, to carry further the ""grand generalization"" of Helmholtz, Josiah Willard Gibbs, and others: like the first principle of the mechanical heat theory, the second, the ""Carnot-Clausius"", principle applies not only to heat phenomena but to all kinds of physical and chemical phenomena"" and because the second principle applies not only to reversible processes but also to irreversible, or ""natural"", processes, it applies to all processes whatsoever...""(Jungnickel and McCormach ""Intellectual Mastery of Nature, vol. 2, pp. 52 ff.)What Einstein admired and called Planck's ""first great scientific discovery"" was the generality of its formulas which contain all that can be derived from pure thermodynamic principles. Einstein referred to the third paper in this series with the title ""Gesetze des Eintritts beliebiger thermodynamischer und chemischer Reactionen""‎
