What was Niels Bohr famous for?

Answer 1

Niels Bohr was involved with many aspects of the development of Quantum Mechanics but he is best known for his theory of the Hydrogen atom. In this theory he applied Planck's concept of quantization to the dynamics of the electron in the Hydrogen atom. He concluded that the electron could only have certain energies and light emitted from Hydrogen only occured when the electron dropped from a high energy level to a lower energy level. This theory fully explained the unusual light spectrum emitted by Hydrogen, which had puzzeled scientists for years.

Answer 2

Niels Bohr was famous for his contributions to the development of quantum theory. He proposed the model of the atom with electrons orbiting the nucleus in quantized energy levels, known as the Bohr model. Bohr also made important contributions to our understanding of nuclear structure and the principle of complementarity in quantum mechanics.

Answer 3

Niel bohr was famous for his experiments, inventions and discoveries etc
