As the 21-year-old Heisenberg appeared before the four professors on July 23
, 1923, he easily handled Sommerfeld's questions and those in mathematics,
but he began to stumble on astronomy and fell flat on his face on
experimental physics. In his laboratory work Heisenberg had to use a Fabry-
Perot interferometer, a device for observing the interference of light waves
, on which Wien had lectured extensively. But Heisenberg had no idea how to
derive the resolving power of the interferometer nor, to Wien's surprise,
could he derive the resolving power of such common instruments as the
telescope and the microscope. When an angry Wien asked how a storage battery
works, the candidate was still lost. Wien saw no reason to pass the young
man, no matter how brilliant he was in other fields.
An argument broke out between Sommerfeld and Wien over the relative
importance of theory and experiment. The result was that Heisenberg received
the lowest of three passing grades in physics and the same overall grade (
cum laude) for his doctorate, both of which were an average between
Sommerfeld's highest grade and Wien's lowest grade. | g******t
