Abstract
When Max Planck1 introduced the quantum postulate E = hv in 1900, the main purpose was to give a theoretical description of the black-body radiation in agreement with the experimental experience. When Albert Einstein2 in 1905 introduced the quantization of the electromagnetic waves according to the law E = hv, the idea was to give a theoretical explanation of the photo-electric effect. When Niels Bohr3 in 1913 developed the first model of the hydrogen atom based on the quantization of angular momenta, pa = nh/2π, the success was guaranteed by the fact that his theoretical results were in agreement with the experimental spectra. Somewhat later Sommerfeld4 introduced the three quantum numbers (n, l, m) describing the elliptical orbits, and in 1918 he could successfully explain the fine-structure of the hydrogen atom spectra by using the special theory of relativity and the fine-structure constant α = 2πe2/hc = 1/137.
