Abstract

The object of this paper is to give an account of the fundamental principles of wave mechanics in a manner which shall make clear the physical significance of all the quantities and processes involved. The principles are illustrated by discussions of the propagation of free electric waves in uniform electromagnetic fields and of bound electric waves in the hydrogen atom. The paper concludes with relativistic wave mechanics (prior to the work of Dirac and Darwin) and a short account of the Compton effect.
