Niels Bohr wrote an article today on April 5, 1913, entitled New Atomic Sketches, entitled "Atoms and Molecular Structures."
In the late nineteenth century, the discovery of electrons and
radioactivity gave rise to various models for the formation of atoms. In 1913,
Neil Bohr proposed a theory based on quantum theory for hydrogen atoms, in
which energy is transmitted only to particular quantities. The electrons must
rotate in special orbit around the nucleus of the atom. When the electrons jump
from low energy orbit to high energy orbit, they emit a quantum of light.
Bohr's theory can explain why end-atoms emit light at fixed wavelengths?
Neils Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 in the
nuclear field.
