The Constitution of White Light: A Source for the New Questions of Quantum Mechanics (2002)

unapi

Queste pagine hanno lo scopo di ricostruire un dibattito che ebbe vasta popolarità a cavallo tra il diciannovesimo ed il ventesimo secolo, incentrato sulla struttura della radiazione non monocromatica. La discussione giocò un ruolo importante nel mettere a fuoco alcune tematiche, in seguito destinate a diventare tipiche della imminente meccanica quantistica. In particolare, è in questo contesto che si avvia l'indagine sul significato fisico dei modi normali, ovvero delle singole componenti di uno sviluppo di Fourier.
