Spectral emissions as an emergent property of space-time

by

The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six different spectral emission lines of the hydrogen atom whose energy levels can calculated using an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. Later Neils Bohr sought to explain them by using the Rutherford model of … Read more

Quantum numbers: a classical interpretation

by

Quantum mechanics defines the spatial orientation of electrons in atoms only in terms of the probabilistic values associated with Schrödinger wave equation. In other words in a quantum system Schrödinger wave equation plays the role of Newtonian laws in that it predicts the future position or momentum of a electron in terms of a probability … Read more
