Quantum Mechanics: The Physics of the Microscopic World S:1 E:5 Standing Waves and Stable Atoms

S:1 E:5 Standing Waves and Stable Atoms You explore the mystery of why atoms are stable. Niels Bohr suggested that quantum theory explains atomic stability by allowing only certain distinct orbits for electrons. Erwin Schrdinger discovered a powerful equation that reproduces the energy levels of Bohr’s model.
