For in 1900 all electromagnetic radiation of longer wavelengths was already known at least to the extent that one could not seek in it the more striking characteristics of X-rays such as, for example, the strong penetrating power. — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
For as long as one has no further point of reference, apart from the position of the maximum, the wavelength thus remains uncertain by an integral factor. — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
There is no doubt that I, also, had long been aware of the problem, i.e. producing X-ray interferences, before the inherent difficulties had finally… — Max von Laue Copy Share Image

If diffraction or interference phenomena were to be sought it was therefore necessary, in accordance with the basic principles of wave theory, to select… — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
With crystals we are in a situation similar to an attempt to investigate an optical grating merely from the spectra it produces... But a… — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
For both reasons, owing to the thermal motion and to the working together of various wavelengths, factors arise which, in a similar manner to… — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
Notwithstanding these major arguments the wave theory initially did not meet with complete acceptance. — Max von Laue Copy Share Image
