Broglie (Louis-Victor de) "A Tentative Theory of Light Quanta", first English edition, in Philosophical Magazine, sixth series, vol. 47, pp.446-458, contemporary cloth-backed boards, light rubbing to extremities, 1924; and vol.48 and 50 of the same periodical, 8vo (3) *** Broglie's ground-breaking proposal that particle-wave duality could apply to matter as well as to radiation. This theory was the foundation for much of the work of Heisenberg and Schrodinger as well as the new field of quantum mechanics. Also included in this volume is the essay by Bohr, Kramers, and Slater, "The Quantum Theory of Radiation". This articles was one of the finale major attempts of the "old quantum theory" to explain the interaction between matter and radiation, and was later proven incorrect.
