Bohr's Quantum Jumps and the Foundational Equation of Spectroscopy - Prof. William Reinhar, Study notes of Physical Chemistry

An overview of niels bohr's discovery of quantum jumps between energy levels in atoms, leading to the foundational equation of spectroscopy, the bohr-einstein frequency rule. The document also discusses the limitations of bohr's theory and the introduction of fully quantum postulates by heisenberg and schrödinger.

Download Bohr's Quantum Jumps and the Foundational Equation of Spectroscopy - Prof. William Reinhar and more Study notes Physical Chemistry in PDF only on Docsity! Bohr realized that “spectra” were quantum jumps between “energy levels,” quantized and labeled by n = 1,2,3…. And the frequency (or wave length) of light associated With these transitions between quantum states was: hν = hc/λ = ΔE this is the foundational equation of all of spectroscopy, and is called the Bohr-Einstein frequency rule. Applying to a transition m → n in the H atom (or ion of nuclear charge +Ze)
