In 1913, Niels Bohr's atomic model revolutionized physics by introducing quantized electron orbits. Electrons circle the nucleus in fixed paths, absorbing/emitting specific energy to jump between levels, explaining atomic stability & spectra

What's something that fascinates you about quantum physics?

For me, gravitons are incredibly intriguing. The idea that these hypothetical particles could explain the fundamental force of gravity is as revolutionary as the introduction of the photon concept in 1905.

The Balmer equation paved the way for spectroscopy. Have you ever wondered how scientists identify elements in stars billions of light-years away? This is how!

The video below from NASA Goddard is incredibly informative on how spectroscopy has revolutionized deep space scanning

It's interesting how electrons, when they get energized, jump between different levels within their atom, releasing light in the process.

It's like each atom has its own tiny fireworks πŸŽ† show, creating colorful spectral lines that serve as unique fingerprints for different elements

It's also a very simple formula.

By changing the value of 'n' to 3, 4, 5 and so on, you can calculate the wavelength of the emitted spectral color for hydrogen atoms. Thus giving you it's fingerprint!

The Balmer series is named after Johann Balmer, who in 1885 figured out how to accurately predict the spectral lines emitted by a hydrogen atom using an empirical formula, now known as the Balmer formula.

However, at that time, it was still unclear why these spectral lines were produced.

Balmer Series

In 1913, Niels Bohr explained that when electrons in a hydrogen atom get excited, they move up energy levels based on absorbed energy. As this energy dissipates, they return to lower levels, emitting light and creating a unique, colorful spectrum.

The video above explains this very well.

I simply remember it as Intensity is like how hard it's raining outside, while frequency is whether it's light rain or hailing outside.

PS12 Photoelectric effect 3 Intensity vs Frequency of Light
YouTube video by Melissa Ferguson PS12 Photoelectric effect 3 Intensity vs Frequency of Light

Intensity vs Frequency

Say we are dealing with blue light.

The Intensity of the blue light means its strength, brightness and power. These factors can change depending on what's emitting the blue light.

Now, if you were to increase the Frequency of the blue light, it would change to UV Light.

I've always been curious about how solar panels work, and watching videos helped me understand them, but learning about the photoelectric effect has made solar power even more exciting for me!

The quantum reason behind the solidity of matter If atoms are mostly empty space, then why can't two objects made of atoms simply pass through each other? Quantum physics explains why.

Today's article!

This is an interesting article if you've ever wondered why solid objects can't pass through each other, even though their atoms are mostly empty space.

The Pauli exclusion principle, electron repulsion, and wave-particle duality all play crucial roles! βš›οΈπŸ”¬

Math was always a struggle for me growing up, but as I've gotten older, I've become much more fascinated with certain topics, which has made doing math much more bearable.

What I like about the photoelectric effect is how scientists initially dismissed it. The idea of light being made of photons seemed absurd to many.

Robert Millikan disliked Einstein's theory so much that he conducted experiments to disprove it. Ironically, his efforts ended up proving it right!

The Photoelectric Effect

Building on Planck's revolutionary idea of Quanta. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed that energy is made up of tiny packets of energy called PHOTONS!

Einstein proposed that when photons hit a metal surface at the right frequency, electrons will be ejected from the metal.
