  2. Bohr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect

    The Bohr effect increases the efficiency of oxygen transportation through the blood. After hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs due to the high oxygen concentrations, the Bohr effect facilitates its release in the tissues, particularly those tissues in most need of oxygen. When a tissue's metabolic rate increases, so does its carbon dioxide ...

  3. Bohr model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1), where the negatively charged electron confined to an atomic shell encircles a small, positively charged atomic nucleus and where an electron jumps between orbits, is accompanied by an emitted or absorbed amount of electromagnetic energy (hν). [1]

  4. Copenhagen interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation

    For example, Heisenberg emphasized a sharp "cut" between the observer (or the instrument) and the system being observed, [40]: 133 while Bohr offered an interpretation that is independent of a subjective observer or measurement or collapse, which relies on an "irreversible" or effectively irreversible process, which could take place within the ...

  5. Thought experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_experiment

    It illustrates the counter-intuitive implications of Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation when applied to everyday objects. [ 1 ] A thought experiment is a hypothetical situation in which a hypothesis , theory , [ a ] or principle is laid out for the purpose of thinking through its consequences.

  6. Complementarity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity_(physics)

    While Bohr's presentation was not well received, it did crystallize the issues ultimately leading to the modern wave-particle duality concept. [6]: 315 The contradictory results that triggered Bohr's ideas had been building up over the previous 20 years. This contradictory evidence came both from light and from electrons.

  7. Bohr equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_equation

    The Bohr equation helps us find the amount of any expired gas, CO 2, N 2, O 2, etc. In this case we will focus on CO 2 . Defining F e as the fraction of CO 2 in the average expired breath, F A as the fraction of CO 2 in the perfused alveolar volume, and F d as the CO 2 makeup of the unperfused (and thus 'dead') region of the lung;

  8. Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum...

    This concept was formalized by Bohr in 1923 as the correspondence principle. It requires quantum theory to converge to classical limits. [9]: 29 A related concept is Ehrenfest's theorem, which shows that the average values obtained from quantum mechanics (e.g. position and momentum) obey classical laws. [10]

  9. Interpretations of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_quantum...

    The definition of quantum theorists' terms, such as wave function and matrix mechanics, progressed through many stages.For instance, Erwin Schrödinger originally viewed the electron's wave function as its charge density smeared across space, but Max Born reinterpreted the absolute square value of the wave function as the electron's probability density distributed across space; [3]: 24–33 ...
