QUANTUM MECHANICS:
Debye Relates History of Theory
In Marle
Mary Markley Council, voted
Monday night to abolish the 10:30
p.m. Wednesday night closing.
The dormitory will now have
the same closing hours on Wed-
nesday as on other week nights,
11 pm. for' freshmen and mid-
night for upperclassmen. The
rule will go into effect beginning
Nov. 2.
On, the first Wednesday of
every month the dormitory will
close at 11 p.m.a.This will affect
all residents except those in Bar-
bara Little House, Markley's up-
perclass house. Houses may hold
meetings at this time if they so
desire.
Any additional house or corri-
dor meetings may be scheduled at
any time by the individual units.
"The quantum theory is an ex-
cellent example of an apparently
illogical explanation developing
into a good theory." Prof. Emeri-
tus Peter J. Debye, of Cornell
University, former winner of the
Nobel Prize for Chemistry, said
yesterday.
Prof. Debye, speaking to a capa-
city crowd at a meeting of the
University Student Affiliate of the
American Chemical Society, traced
the history of the quantum theory
from the work of Max Planck in
1900 to that of Erwin Schrodinger
in the 1930's,
Planck, working with "black
bodies" or those which absorb all
radiation, suggested that radia-.]
Lion is both emitted and absorbed
in units of magnitude proportional
to the frequency.
This idea was a departure from
the classical. mechanics of Lnd-
wig Boltzman and others who be-
lieved that a particle emits radia-
tion continuously.
Niels Bohr, working in 1913,
"extended the quantum concepts
of Planck to the problem of the
structure of the atom by postulat-
ing that electrons, when traveling
about an atom's nucleus, main-
tain a 'stable orbit without loss
of energy,," said Debye..
Arnold Summerfield, soon after
Bohr, was able to place the elee-
trons in their geometrical orbits
around the nucleus of the atom.
In response to questions on the
work of Einstein, Prof. Debye ex-
plained that Einstein continued'
to hold the belief that quantum
theory was merely an extension
of classical mechanics rather than
a revolutionary new idea.
Prof. Debye, whose visits are
being sponsored by the Institute of
Science and Technoiogy, will con-
tinue his stay at the University
through December. He will be
available for consultation with
students or faculty.
