At the beginning of the 20th century, Newton’s laws of motion were able to successfully describe the motion of the particles in classical mechanics (the world of large, heavy and slow bodies) and Maxwell’s equations explained phenomena in classical electromagnetism. However the classical theory does not hold in the region of atomic dimensions. It could not explain the stability of atoms, energy distribution in the black body radiation spectrum, origin of discrete spectra of atoms, etc. It also fails to explain the large number of observed phenomena like photoelectric effect, ______, Raman Effect, Quantum Hall effect, superconductivity etc.
