Failures of Classical Physics

Some experimental situations where "classical" physics fails:

Photoelectric effect	Blackbody radiation
Line spectra	Physiological effects of radiation
Wave properties of electron (electron microscope)

The remedies come from some inherently quantum ideas:

Photon energy	Photon momentum
Wavelength for particle	Uncertainty principle
Wave function	Schrodinger equation
