Learning Outcomes After studying this module, you should be able to grasp the important ideas of Bohr’s Theory of the structure of atomic hydrogen. We will first review the experimental observations of the atomic spectrum of hydrogen, which led to the birth of quantum mechanics. 2. What is a Spectrum? 2.1 Introduction In spectroscopy, we are interested in the absorption and emission of radiation by matter and its consequences. A spectrum is the distribution of photon energies coming from a light source: • How many photons of each energy are emitted by the light source? Spectra are observed by passing light through a spectrograph: • Breaks the light into its component wavelengths and spreads them apart (dispersion). • Uses either prisms or diffraction gratings. The absorption and emission of photons are governed by the Bohr condition ΔE = hν.

  • Physics 30 Lesson 31 the Bohr Model of the Atom I
    Physics 30 Lesson 31 The Bohr Model of the Atom I. Planetary models of the atom After Rutherford’s gold foil scattering experiment, all models of the atom featured a nuclear model with electrons moving around a tiny, massive nucleus. A simple way to visualise the nuclear model was as planets orbiting a central Sun. As the Sun of our solar system attracted the planets, the positive nucleus of the atom would attract the negative electrons. While the Sun and planets involve gravitation, the nucleus and electrons involve electrostatic forces. Planet Nucleus Sun electron Gravitational Attraction Planetary Model of Atom The nuclear atom was a nice combination of gravitational ideas and sub atomic particles, but it had several major flaws: 1. Did all of the electrons travel in the same orbit? Why did they not bump into one another? What was the electron structure? 2. From the known bonding characteristics of different chemical compounds, how are the electrons involved in the bonding process? 3. Why do the positive protons stay together in the nucleus? Their strong mutual repulsion should tear the nucleus apart. 4. The final, and most important flaw, concerned the nature of accelerating charges. James Maxwell had shown that accelerating electric charges radiate EM radiation (Lesson 24). If the electrons were in circular orbits, they would continually experience a centripetal acceleration and should continually radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Further, since their kinetic energy is being converted into radiant energy, the electrons should spiral into the nucleus. From observation, we know that atoms have stable structures for long periods of time and they do not radiate energy on their own.

In this paper I will provide some historical perspectives on the question at the core of this workshop, namely the many ways in which computer simulations may be contributing to reshape science in general and quantum physics in particular. More specifically, I would like to focus on the issue of whether computer simulations may be regarded as offering an alternative, or perhaps a complementary, version of quantum theory. I will not be looking at the way in which computer simulations are used in quantum physics today, since this task has been outstandingly fulfilled by other contributions to this workshop. Instead, I will present a few episodes from the history of quantum theory in such a way as to make it plausible that simulations might indeed provide the next phase of historical development.
