  6. Some Notes About Bohr Like Atoms • Ground state of Hydrogen atom (n=1) E 0 = -13.6 eV • Method for calculating energy levels etc applies to all Hydrogen- like atoms � -1e around +Ze – Examples : He + , Li ++ • Energy levels would be different if replace electron with Muons • Bohr’s method can be applied in general to all systems under a central force (e.g. gravitational instead of Coulombic) Q Q M M = → 1 2 1 2 If change ( ) U r k G r r Changes every thing: E, r , f etc "Importance of constants in your life" Bohr’s Correspondence Principle • It now appears that there are two different worlds with different laws of physics governing them – The macroscopic world – The microscopic world • How does one transcend from one world to the other ? – Bohr’s correspondence Principle • predictions of quantum theory must correspond to predictions of the classical physics in the regime of sizes where classical physics is known to hold. when n � ∞ [Quantum Physics] = [Classical Physics]

  7. Atomic Excitation by Electrons: Franck-Hertz Expt Other ways of Energy exchange are also quantized ! Example: • Transfer energy to atom by colliding electrons on it • Accelerate electrons, collide with Hg atoms, measure energy transfer in inelastic collision (retarding voltage) Atomic Excitation by Electrons: Franck-Hertz Expt Plot # of electrons/time (current) overcoming the retarding potential (V) Equally spaced Maxima and minima in I-V curve ∆ E ∆ E Atoms accept only discrete amount of Energy, no matter the fashion in which energy is transffered

  8. Bohr’s Explanation of Hydrogen like atoms • Bohr’s Semiclassical theory explained some spectroscopic data � Nobel Prize : 1922 • The “hotch-potch” of clasical & quantum attributes left many (Einstein) unconvinced – “appeared to me to be a miracle – and appears to me to be a miracle today ...... One ought to be ashamed of the successes of the theory” • Problems with Bohr’s theory: – Failed to predict INTENSITY of spectral lines – Limited success in predicting spectra of Multi-electron atoms (He) – Failed to provide “time evolution ” of system from some initial state – Overemphasized Particle nature of matter-could not explain the wave- particle duality of light – No general scheme applicable to non-periodic motion in subatomic systems • “Condemned” as a one trick pony ! Without fundamental insight …raised the question : Why was Bohr successful? Prince Louise de Broglie • Key to Bohr atom was Angular momentum quantization • Why Quantization mvr = |L| = nh/2 π ? • Invoking symmetry in nature the Prince deBroglie postulated – Because photons have wave and particle like nature � particles must have wave like properties – Electrons have accompanying “pilot” wave (not EM) which guide particles thru spacetime. • Matter Wave : – “Pilot wave” of Wavelength λ = h / p = h / ( γ mv) – frequency f = E / h • If matter has wave like properties then there would be interference (destructive & constructive) • Use analogy of standing waves on a plucked string to explain the quantization condition of Bohr orbits
