This classic three-part work by Niels Bohr elaborates on the correspondence principle, a concept first introduced by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist in 1913. In a series of papers first published between 1918 and 1922, Bohr discusses the theory's applications from a uniform point of view and considers the underlying assumptions in their relations to ordinary mechanics and electrodynamics. The author elucidates the outstanding difficulties, tracing the analogy between the quantum theory and the ordinary theory of radiation as closely as possible. 1918-1922 ed.
