Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung und Lichtabsorption. WITH: Das Prinzip von der Erhaltung der Schwerpunktsbewgung und die Tragheit der Energie

1906ref. 602Leipzig: Barth 1906. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine. FIRST EDITION of two important Einstein papers including one of the two papers on his Noble Prize winning work on the photoelectric effect. On the Theory of Light Production and Light Absorption: A continuation and development of Einstein's revolutionary first paper in 1905 on the photoelectric effect "On a Heuristic Point of View about the Creation and Conversion of Light". "In a companion paper to "On a Heuristic Point." published in 1906 Einstein exposed appeal to the quantum as fundamentally counter to the ethos of classical physics: 'the theoretical bases on which Planck's radiation theory rests are different from those of Maxwell's theory'. Planck had not initially intended to quantify light-radiation itself but Einstein demonstrated that his own 'light-quantum hypothesis' was implicit in Planck's earlier work. In viewing radiation not as a continuous wave but as composed of small packets of energy later called photons Einstein was again shaking the foundations of classical physics" Honner The Description of Nature 31. Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries: "Corpuscular-wave dualism for photons. Explanation of the photoelectric effect using the quantum hypothesis of Planck. Nobel prize to A. Einstein awarded in 1921 'for services to Theoretical Physics and especially of he law of the photoelectric effect.'" Weil 12. The Principle of Conservation of Motion of the Center of Gravity and the Inertia of Energy: Einstein's further development of E=mc2. Einstein boldly uses his relationship to insist that the conservation of mass is a special case of the conservation of energy and broadens the law to include not only mechanical but electromagnetic processes as well. Weil 13. IN: Annalen der Physik Vol. 20 pp. 199-206; 627-633. Leipzig: Barth 1906. Octavo modern full green morocco. Rippling to the first few leaves of volume not affecting Einstein papers. Provenance: with library stamp on series title from the prestigious Gmelin Institute after 1996 part of the Max Planck Institute. Very handsomely bound. Barth hardcover books

In ibid.:371-381. Whole volume 8vo. viii 1080pp. 5 plates. 213 x 143 mm. Original cloth spine faded split in upper half of spine inner hinge cracking. Very good. 1 First Edition in Journal Form Revised of Einstein's doctoral thesis ranked by his biographer as being on the same level as his 1905 papers on relativity the light quanta and Brownian motion. In his thesis Einstein presented a new theoretical method for determining molecular radii and Avogadro's number the number of atoms or molecules needed to make up a mass equal to a substance's atomic or molecular weight in grams. The thesis appeared in print in the spring of 1905; in the journal version published at the beginning of 1906 Einstein added a brief appendix containing an improved value of Avogadro's number. Einstein's biographer Abraham Pais wrote of Einstein's thesis as follows: "It is not sufficiently realized that Einstein's thesis is one of his most fundamental papers. Histories and biographies invariably refer to 1905 as the miraculous year because of his article on relativity the light-quantum and Brownian motion. In my opinion the thesis is on a par with the Brownian motion article. In fact in some-not all-respects his results on Brownian motion are by-products of his thesis work emphasis ours. This goes a long way toward explaining why the paper on Brownian motion was received by the Annalen der Physik on May 11 1905 only eleven days after the thesis had been completed. "Three weeks after the thesis was accepted this same journal received a copy of the thesis for publication. It was published only after Einstein supplied a brief addendum in January 1906. . . . As a result of these various delays the thesis appeared as a paper in the Annalen der Physik only after the Brownian motion article had come out in the same journal. This may have helped create the impression in some quarters that the relation between diffusion and viscosity-a very important equation due to Einstein and Sutherland-was first obtained in Einstein's paper on Brownian motion. Actually it first appeared in his thesis . . . ." "Quite apart from the fundamental nature of some results obtained in the thesis there is another reason why this paper is of uncommon interest: it has had more widespread practical applications than any other paper Einstein ever wrote . . . . The thesis dealing with bulk rheological properties of particle suspensions contains results which have an extraordinarily wide range of applications. They are relevant to the construction industry the motion of sand particles in cement mixes to the dairy industry the motion of casein micelles in cow's milk and to ecology the motion of aerosol particles in clouds to mention but a few scattered examples. Einstein might have enjoyed hearing this since he was quite fond of applying physics to practical situations" Pais Subtle is the Lord pp. 89-90. Pais notes that during the period 1970-1974 the 1906 journal version of Einstein's thesis was cited four times more often than his 1916 paper on general relativity and eight times more often than his 1905 paper on light quanta. 2 First Edition of Einstein's second paper on Brownian motion containing two further methods for finding Avogadro's number. This was the first of his papers on the subject to include the term "Brownian motion" in the title. Pais pp. 95 98. . unknown books

1923ref. 432881923. Einstein Albert 1879-1955 and Paul Ehrenfest 1880-1933. Zur Quantentheorie des Strahlungsgleichgewichts. Offprint from Zeitschrift für Physik 19 1923. 301-306pp. Original printed self-wrappers. 230 x 157 mm. Light toning but very good. First Edition Offprint Issue. In 1916 after publishing his great work on general relativity Einstein returned to the question of blackbody radiation. In November 1916 he wrote to his friend Besso that "a splendid light has dawned on me about the absorption and emission of radiation" quoted in Pais p. 405 one that led him to a new derivation of Planck's radiation law and convinced him of the reality of light-quanta photons. After publishing these results in three papers culminating with the famous "Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung" 1917 Einstein kept looking for "new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable derivations from the classical picture" Pais p. 413. He found none until 1923 when Arthur Compton and Peter Debye independently derived the relativistic kinematics for the scattering of a photon off an electron at rest. The work of Compton and Debye led Wolfgang Pauli to extend Einstein's work of 1917 to the case of radiation in equilibrium with free electrons see Pais p. 414n. "Pauli examined the requirements of detailed balance under Lorentz transformations and found that scattering of light by free electrons must include a term of a form which we would now call stimulated emission . . . Einstein and Ehrenfest then showed that Pauli's results could be obtained by an extension of Einstein's 1917 paper with the unnecessary specialization to discrete energy levels removed . . . The core of Einstein's argument is that the scattering process should be broken into two parts: the absorption of energy from radiation of frequency 1 and the emission of energy as radiation of frequency 2" Lewis p. 42.

This volume was to celebrate Albert Einstein and the Solar Eclipse of Jun 30 1954 and June 20 1955. Unusual Signed Kilfitt/Zoomar Eclipse Book with original Einstein Frank Back Photo. 8vo 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 40pp signed and inscribed by Dr. Back on the second free endpaper. "To Leslie and Duke. We should never make statements witch are not planned correct and checked by us .we should not impress by telling sometime .stories in order to make contributions or to say something. Talking is silence. "Silence is gold" Wish you the very best from the heart. T F Back sept 11 1965" A fine copy in handmade decorative paper covered boards printed glossy paper label on the upper cover limited edition of 3000 copies in the original glassine outer wrapper showing some light sunning. This volume was dedicated to Albert Einstein and is the only book that was ever written by "The Father of the Zoom Lens". With / An original black & white silver gelatin 5 x 7 photograph of Dr. Albert Einstein and Dr. Frank Gerald Back seated together in very fine condition acquired directly from Dr. Back's estate. This photograph was taken circa 1954 and is one of the images published in this limited edition. With An 18" x 22" blueprint folded of the Solar Eclipse Spectrograph size "C" drawing. It was made from the original drawing dated 4/1/55 drawn by Zoomar's Chief Designer Alfred Joseph Quittner "AJQ" & approved by Dr. Back "FGB". A very interesting package indeed. Dr. Back was a very close friend of Albert Einstein. Dr. Einstein persuaded the author to take the trip commemorated in this beautifully produced volume in order to capture the total eclipse of the sun which occurred on June 20 1955. Dr. Back intended to provide conclusive evidence for Einstein's theory of relativity by calculating the optical distortion if any of starlight caused by the sun's gravity. Earlier in 1919 Einstein's general relativity principles were supported by observations of a solar eclipse. The two scientists conferred on the project for over a year. Armed with a special Zoomar designed & built wide-angle solar-eclipse spectrograph Dr. Back was off to the Philippine Islands to board a military jet & chase the eclipse. Einstein however died while Back was on his way to Manila. Unable to report the excursion to his friend Dr. Back dedicated this book to his memory. Dr. Frank Back held over 200 patents directly relating to photographic equipment. He was the founder & president of Zoomar Inc. The photographic term " zoom" was derived from Zoomar. Dr. Back created the first widely used zoom lenses for motion picture and television; then in 1959 introduced the first zoom lens for still cameras with the introduction of the 36-82mm/f2.8 Voigtlander Zoomar. Dr. Back & Zoomar purchased the great Heinz Kilfitt optical factory of Munich Germany in 1966 & it became a subsidiary of Zoomar Inc. This volume was never widely distributed & when Zoomar Inc. ceased operations at Glen Cove Long Island many cases of this book were discovered & unceremoniously trashed. The existing number of copies is unknown but the book is not frequently encountered. This copy came from the personal estate of Dr. Frank Gerald Back & it is one of the few copies signed by him. An excellent example suited for collectors of Science Astronomy Einstein Zoomar or Photographic History in general. In a lovely custom clamshell case with a window insert displaying the original Einstein/Back photo. On page 13 there is a typo. He wrote July 301954 instead of June 30 1954 and was never changed.

1 Theorie der lichterzeugung und lichtabsorption; 2 Prinzip von der erhaltung der schwerpunktsbewegung und die tragheit der energiein. In Annalen der Physik 20 1906-- Two landmark papers

ref. 504141 First Edition journal issue. The brilliant follow-up to Einstein's landmark 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect. In the 1905 paper Einstein had explained the photoelectric effect-the emission of electrons from a metal when irradiated by light-by making the revolutionary proposal that light rather than consisting of continuous waves was instead made up of discrete particles of energy "light quanta" which transferred their entire payload of energy to an electron on impact. In the 1905 paper Einstein made use of Planck's mathematical formula for blackbody radiation which had introduced the concept of energy quanta but he was only able to derive part of the formula. In his 1906 paper Einstein "used his statistical mechanics to demonstrate that when light interacts with matter Planck's entire formula can arise only from the existence of light quanta-not from waves" Cassidy; emphasis ours. Einstein had realized as he stated in the present paper that "'Planck's theory makes implicit use of the . . . light-quantum hypothesis' . . . his acceptance of Planck's formula albeit as a hypothesis led to a major advance in his own work" Pais Subtle is the Lord p. 378. In 1921 Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the photoelectric effect. Cassidy David "Einstein on the Photoelectric Effect." Einstein: Image and Impact.

Weil Albert Einstein: A Bibliography no. 12. 2 First Edition journal issue of Einstein's second paper on the inertia of energy following his 1905 paper "Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig" Is the inertia of a body dependent on its energy content. In the present paper Einstein presented another argument in support of the proposition that a body's energy depends on its energy content. "About a year after he first introduced the inertia of energy Einstein published a paper entitled "The Principle of the Conservation of the Center of Gravity and the Inertia of Energy" in which he showed that E = mc2 is necessary and sufficient to ensure that the center-of-mass theorem holds for systems in which 'not only mechanical but also electromagnetic processes take place' . . . As Einstein acknowledges his paper is similar to Poincaré's contribution to the Lorentz Festschrift 1900. Einstein showed that in order to avoid the kind of violations of the center-of-mass theorem discussed by Poincaré one has to assume that energy has inertia" Janssen pp. 39-40.
