Max Planck Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born on 23 April in Kiel Germany. He was the sixth child in a family devoted to the church and state. His father was a prominent jurist and professor of law at the University of Kiel. At the age of 9, his father received a post at the University of Munich, and Planck attended the Maximilian Gymnasium. While there Planck succeeded very well in all subjects and he gained an interest in physics and mathematics finally graduating at the age of 17. He found it difficult to make a decision on what career he was going to aim for, finally settling for physics rather than music or classical philogy, since he believed he had his greatest originality within that physics. He was an excellent pianist and found great pleasure in playing, having the gift of absolute pitch. Another passion of his was hiking, mountain climbing and taking long walks as regularly as possible. In 1874 Planck entered the University of Munich, and was unimpressed with his physics professor there, Professor Phillip von Jolly. He did, however, find intellectual stimulation through self study. Planck was deeply impressed by the law of conservation of energy and he became convinced that the second law of termodynamics was an absolute law of nature. Planck based his doctoral dissertation on the second law of thermodynamics and in July 1879, at the young age of 21 he received his doctoral degree. Following this he completed his qualifying dissertation at Munich and he employed as a lecturer (Privatdozent). With the help of his father in 1885 he took up the position of associate professor at the University of Kiel becoming a full professor in 1892 at the University of Berlin when Kirchoff died. Planck lectured on all branches of theoretical physics and had nine doctoral students study under him.

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born in Germany on April 23, 1858. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Munich, Germany in 1870. Following graduation he taught at the University of Kiel and the University of Berlin. Eventually he became the director of the Planck Institute of Theoretical Physics. During his career he studied blackbody radiation and discovered that long wavelengths did not obey the distribution laws written by Wien. This led to his discovery that an oscillator could emit energy in discrete quanta, thus the formation of the quantum theory. For his work in physics he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1918. Planck also worked in thermodynamics and electrodynamics during his career. Planck died on October 3, 1947. References Asimov, I. (1964).

Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck Born: 23 April 1858 in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany Died: 4 Oct 1947 in Göttingen, Germany Max Planck came from an academic family, his father being professor of law at Kiel and both his grandfather and great-grandfather had been professors of theology at Göttingen. In 1867 Planck's family moved to Munich and he attended school there. He did well at school, but not brilliantly, usually coming somewhere between third and eighth in his class. In 1874, at the age of 16, he entered the University of Munich. Before he began his studies he discussed the prospects of research in physics with Philipp von Jolly, the professor of physics there, and was told that physics was essentially a complete science with little prospect of further developments. Fortunately Planck decided to study physics despite the bleak future for research that was presented to him. In [7] Planck describes why he chose physics:- The outside world is something independent from man, something absolute, and the quest for the laws which apply to this absolute appeared to me as the most sublime scientific pursuit in life. Planck then studied at Berlin where his teachers included Helmholtz and Kirchhoff . He later wrote that he admired Kirchhoff greatly but found him dry and monotonous as a teacher. Planck returned to Munich and received his doctorate at the age of 21 with a thesis on the second law of thermodynamics. He was then appointed to a teaching post at the University of Munich in 1880 and he taught there until 1885.

Max Planck Thirdbase Max Planck Born: April 23, 1858 - Died October 4, 1947 Physicist Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck born, raised, and educated in Germany, is one of the founders of modern science. His important work, during the early 20th century, laid the groundwork for the field of Quantum Mechanics. Underlying Quantum Mechanics is the theory that Planck posited and then verified that states: energy is not a smooth flowing continuum, but rather, it is manifested by the emission from radiating bodies of discrete particles called quanta Planck based this quantum theory on a discovery he made in 1900. He constructed a formula that related the energy of radiation to its frequency. This formula which defines the variable h is now known as Planck's radiation formula. The whole "quantum" concept required Planck to reconsider some basic principles, such as the Second Law of Thermodynamics (the entropy law). Planck's initial theory and the work carried on by other physicists, such as Niels Bohr and Paul Dirac, basically redefined the nature of physics.

In July 1874, at the age of 16, he passed his school leaving examination with distinction but, having talents for a wide variety of subjects particularly music (he played piano and organ extremely well), he still did not have a clear idea of what he should to study at university. Before he began his studies at the University of Munich he discussed the possibility of a musical career with a musician who told him that if he had to ask the question he'd better study something else. He entered the University of Munich on 21 October 1874 and was taught physics by Philipp von Jolly and Wilhelm Beetz, and mathematics by Ludwig Seidel and Gustav Bauer. After taking mostly mathematics classes at the start of his course, he enquired about the prospects of research in physics from Philipp von Jolly, the professor of physics at Munich, and was told that physics was essentially a complete science with little prospect of further developments.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was born in Kiel, Germany, on April 23, 1858, the son of Julius Wilhelm and Emma ( Planck studied at the Universities of Munich and Berlin, where his teachers included Kirchhoff and Helmholtz, and received his doctorate of philosophy at Munich in 1879. He was Privatdozent in Munich from 1880 to 1885, then Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics at Kiel until 1889, in which year he succeeded Kirchhoff as Professor at Berlin University, where he remained until his retirement in 1926. Afterwards he became President of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Promotion of Science, a post he held until 1937. The Prussian Academy of Sciences appointed him a member in 1894 and Permanent Secretary in 1912. Planck's earliest work was on the subject of thermodynamics, an interest he acquired from his studies under Kirchhoff, whom he greatly admired, and very considerably from reading R. Clausius' publications. He published papers on entropy, on thermoelectric ity and on the theory of dilute solutions. At the same time also the problems of radiation processes engaged his attention and he showed that these were to be considered as electromagnetic in nature. From these studies he was led to the problem of the distribution of energy in the spectrum of full radiation. Experimental observations on the wavelength distribution of the energy emitted by a black body as a function of temperature were at variance with the predictions of classical physics. Planck was able to deduce the relationship between the ener gy and the frequency of radiation. In a paper published in 1900, he announced his derivation of the relationship: this was based on the revolutionary idea that the energy emitted by a resonator could only take on discrete values or quanta. The energy for a resonator of frequency

Seeking to explain the experimental spectrum (distribution of electromagnetic energy according to wavelength) of black body radiation, he introduced the hypothesis (1900) that oscillating atoms absorb and emit energy only in discrete bundles (called quanta) instead of continuously, as assumed in classical physics. The success of his work and subsequent developments by Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schr¶dinger, and others established the revolutionary quantum theory of modern physics, of which Planck is justly regarded as the father. In 1918, Planck received the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on black body radiation.
