    Exploring Physics: Unveiling the Bohr Model

    I am currently taking Physics 30 now and we have just finished the Magnetism unit. The last little bit that we had to learn in the unit was about Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. I was just thinking about this...and maybe I'm crazy, but I'll just state my opinion. I was just thinking...

    Explaining Acceleration of Electron in Bohr Model

    I keep reading that the Bohr model explained why the electron in orbit around the nucleus does not emit radiation even though it is accelerating. How does the Bohr model explain this?

    Does Bohr's Model of Hydrogen Still Hold Up Against Quantum Mechanics?

    I searched the forums to find my answer and didn't find anything within the first couple searches. Here's my question: Bohr developed his model of the hydrogen atom. Then Quantum mechnics came along. Does Bohr's model of Hydrogen work for itself? I always thought even though wave...

    Derivation of the Bohr Magneton

    This is a homework problem, and I already turned in the wrong answer (on purpose because I didn't agree with the explanation of why the correct answer was twice mine). I want to know why the answer is what it is. The stated book value is 9.274009 x 10^-24 J/T. I got exactly half that, and I...

    Dynamics of uniform circular motion and bohr model

    In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron (mass m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg) orbits a proton at a distance of 5.3 x 10^-11 m. The proton pulls on the electron with an electric force of 9.2 x 10^-8 N. How many revolutions per second does the electron make? can someone help me solve this...

    Suggestions on any good Niels Bohr sites

    suggestions on any good Niels Bohr sites... Taking a summer physical science class..and my presentation is on Niels Bohr...I wanted to know if there were any good sites anyone can point me to. THX :)

    Solve the Mystery: Who Said "A Computer Cannot Make a Perfect Model of Itself"?

    Hello, i have a question that the answer is most desired right now..I am in a debate and am looking for a qoute, I think it was either Bohr, Herbert, maybe von nueman, I am not sure, but the qoute is something to the effect that a computer cannot make a perfect functioning model of itself, for...

    The Bohr compactification of the Reals

    the Bohr compactification of the real line RBohr is essential (it seems) to Loop Quantum Cosmology. Here are some links illustrating that: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=147432#post147432 I want to understand the Bohr compactification better. It is putting a...

    Calculating the Collapse of a Bohr Atom: Larmor's Formula for Power Radiation

    I have a question. Suppose we have an electron orbiting around a proton in a Bohr atom. It is accelerating due to centripetal motion yet traveling at v<<c so Newtownian physics applies. Since it is accelerating, it is radiating energy. Assuming we are using larmor's formula for power radiated...

    Quantized angular momentum of diatomic gas molecule: Bohr Model

    Here is the problem: A diatomic gas molecule consists of two atoms of mass m separated by a fixed distance d rotating about an axis as shown. Assuming that its angular momentum is quantized just as in the Bohr atom, determine a) the quantized angular speed, b) the quantized rotational energy...
