Niels Bohr
Frae Wikipedia
Niels Henrik David Bohr (7 October, 1885 – 18 November, 1962) wis a Dens pheesicist that made essential contreibutions til the unnerstaundin o atomic structur an quantum mechanics.
[edit] Bohr's contreibutions ti pheesics
- Bohr's model o atomic structur.
- The electron's orbital angular momentum is quantifee'd; L=nħ.
- The theory that electrons traivels in discrete orbits aboot the atom's kirnel, wi the chemical properties o the element bein maistlins determined bi the nummer o electrons in the ooter orbits.
- The consait that an electron coud drap frae a heicher-energy orbit til a laicher ane, emeetin a photon (licht quantum) o discrete energy (this becam the foonds o quantum theory).
- The Copenhagen interpretation o quantum mechanics.
He gat the Nobel Prize for Pheesics for this wark in 1922.
