Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, was given a house next to the Carlsberg Brewery with free beer after winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. He founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics and proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory. He also advocated for peaceful applications of atomic physics and […]
Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made significant contributions to atomic physics and quantum mechanics. His Bohr model, while not entirely accurate, is useful for teaching students about atomic physics. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 and founded the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen. Bohr introduced the […]
The Bohr radius is the smallest possible radius of an electron orbiting the nucleus in a hydrogen atom, based on Niels Bohr’s atomic model. It is still useful in physics, but current theories describe electron location in terms of shells. The radius is calculated using several factors, but does not account for low mass correction. […]
