1. **Max Planck** (1900) 🌌
- **Formula**: \( E = h \nu \)

- **Formula**:

$\color{Green} {\huge E = h \nu }$

- **Explanation**: Planck introduced the idea that energy is emitted in discrete quantities, called "quanta." His theory was the first step toward modern quantum physics.
-
- **Contribution**: Known as the "father of quantum theory," his discovery opened the door to quantum physics.

2. **Albert Einstein** (1905) 💡

3. **Albert Einstein** (1905) 💡
- **Formula**: \( E_k = h \nu - \phi \)
- **Explanation**: Through the photoelectric effect, Einstein proposed that light behaves as particles (photons) with quantized energy, challenging the classical view of light as just a wave.
- **Contribution**: His ideas on wave-particle duality were crucial for modern physics, laying the foundation for quantum mechanics.



3. **Niels Bohr** (1913) 🔬
4. **Niels Bohr** (1913) 🔬
- **Formula**: \( E_n = -\frac{Z^2 R_H}{n^2} \)
- **Explanation**: Bohr's model described the quantized energy levels of electrons within atoms, particularly hydrogen.
- **Contribution**: His theory advanced atomic physics, leading to the concept of complementarity in quantum mechanics.

4. **Werner Heisenberg** (1927) 🎯

5. **Werner Heisenberg** (1927) 🎯
- **Formula**: \( \Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2} \)
- **Explanation**: The uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously determine a particle’s position and momentum with absolute precision.
- **Contribution**: This principle reshaped our understanding of quantum nature, showing that particle behavior remains indeterminate until observed.

9. **Claude Shannon** (1948) 📊
- **Formula**: \( H(X) = -\sum p(x) \log p(x) \)
- **Explanation**: Shannon is known as the father of information theory, introducing the concept of entropy as a measure of information in a message.
- **Contribution**: His ideas laid the groundwork for digital communication and influenced quantum communication and data transmission research.
