  2. Bohr–Einstein debates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BohrEinstein_debates

    The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science , insofar as the disagreements—and the outcome of Bohr's version of quantum mechanics becoming the prevalent view—form the root of ...

  3. Bohr model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    The Bohr model is a relatively primitive model of the hydrogen atom, compared to the valence shell model. As a theory, it can be derived as a first-order approximation of the hydrogen atom using the broader and much more accurate quantum mechanics and thus may be considered to be an obsolete scientific theory .

  4. History of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    In 1905, Albert Einstein used kinetic theory to explain Brownian motion. French physicist Jean Baptiste Perrin used the model in Einstein's paper to experimentally determine the mass, and the dimensions, of atoms, thereby giving direct empirical verification of the atomic theory. [citation needed] Niels Bohr's 1913 quantum model of the hydrogen ...

  5. History of atomic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atomic_theory

    The Bohr model of the atom. Rutherford deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus through his experiments but he had nothing to say about how the electrons were arranged around it. In 1912, Niels Bohr joined Rutherford's lab and began his work on a quantum model of the atom. [37]: 19

    [170] [171] On 7 October 2012, in celebration of Niels Bohr's 127th birthday, a Google Doodle depicting the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom appeared on Google's home page. [172] An asteroid, 3948 Bohr , was named after him, [ 173 ] as was the Bohr lunar crater , and bohrium , the chemical element with atomic number 107, in acknowledgement of ...

  7. List of scientific publications by Albert Einstein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific...

    The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is a simple example, but the EBK method also gives accurate predictions for more complicated systems, such as the dinuclear cations H 2 + and HeH 2+. [47] In 1917, Einstein began the scientific study of cosmology.

  8. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    Niels Bohr then developed Planck's ideas about radiation into a model of the hydrogen atom that successfully predicted the spectral lines of hydrogen. [83] Einstein further developed this idea to show that an electromagnetic wave such as light could also be described as a particle (later called the photon), with a discrete amount of energy that ...

  9. Correspondence principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondence_principle

    Einstein developed the statistical mechanics for Bohr-model atoms interacting with electromagnetic radiation, leading to absorption and two kinds of emission, spontaneous and stimulated emission. But for Bohr the important result was the use of classical analogies and the Bohr atomic model to fix inconsistencies in Planck's derivation of the ...
