Abstract
WHEN the history of the progress of atomic physics during the twentieth century comes to be written, three dates will certainly occupy prominent places; 1900, when Planck published his researches on the discontinuous emission and absorption of energy; 1913, when Bohr derived the Balmer series and Rydberg's constant in terms of known physical quantities from a consideration of Rutherford's model of the atom; and 1925, woen. the new tneories of quantum mechanics were originated.
The New Quantum Mechanics.
