The person I would choose to add to Copenhagen would be Julius Robert Oppenheimer. Better known as the "Father of the Atomic Bomb‚" Oppenheimer‚ though succeeding Bohr and Heisenberg by actually putting his work into practice through the Manhattan Project and development of the nuclear bomb‚ was a peer of both Bohr and Heisenberg in generation and in study‚ devoting his early career to theoretical physics. Although the three men were representatives of different‚ often conflicting groups (as the

Sample Paper – 2008 Class – Physics Class – XII Dual nature of matter Q.1. State the dependence of work function on kinetic energy of electrons emitted in a photocell. If the intensity of incident radiation is doubled‚ what changes occur in the stopping potential and photoelectric current? Q.2. How does the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons vary with the work function? Q.3. the frequency of incident radiation is greater than the threshold frequency in a photocell. How

Assumptions “There has never been a law of physics that did not demand ‘space’ and ‘time’ for its statement.” John Archibald Wheeler Starting Assumption: Physics today has a large body of experimental observations and mathematical equations that correspond to the experimental observations. Therefore‚ on a superficial level it would appear that we have a good theoretical understanding of nature up to a limit that will be called the frontier of knowledge. However‚ there are many counter intuitive
