Last Two Clouds in Physics • Aether (以太) for electromagnetic field was not found . • Ultraviolet catastrophe (an ideal black body at thermal equilibrium will emit radiation with infinite power): Plank 1900 Others. Photoelectric effect (kinetic energy of photoelectron “should be ” proportional to the intensity of the light): Einstein 1905 Specific heat of solids “should be ” independent of temperature 11
