Abstract

This paper thinks that the conclusion will disagree with the Bohr angular momentum quantized condition,if the standing wave condition of linear string vibration is used directly to deal with angular momentum of the motion of electron going round nucleus in a circle in the textbook.The paper holds that if one employs the character of the standing wave and the symmetry satisfied by standing wave condition of circinal string vibration,he can reach that the condition of the standing wave of circinal string vibration is just the circumference of the circle equal to even times of half of the wavelength.Through that condition,one can obtain the quantized angular momentum consistent with the stationary state of Bohr Theory.At the end of the paper the authors explain the quantized angular momentum and the quantized energy with the character of the standing wave.

The electron as a wave band: de Broglie wave phase resonance as a geometric interpretation of energy quantization in the hydrogen atom

Marek Suder

This paper presents a geometric and wave interpretation of energy quantization in the hydrogen atom, based on the de Broglie closure condition of the electron wave in a circular orbit. In this concept, energy quantization is a secondary phenomenon resulting from the fact that the electron wave in each orbit consists of exactly n full periods, and the transition to level n+1 corresponds to the addition of one full period. Combining the wave condition with the classical equilibrium of the Coulomb and centripetal forces leads to values of the orbital radii and a discrete energy spectrum consistent with solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. It is shown that energy quantization can be interpreted as a consequence of the resonant nature of the electron's wave nature and the condition of phase uniqueness after a complete orbit around the nucleus.1 The model under consideration is semiclassical in nature and serves as an intuitive representation of known results from quantum mechanics. It is assumed that the allowable states correspond to configurations in which the de Broglie wave forms a standing wave containing an integer number of full periods around the orbital circumference. This condition leads directly to the quantization of angular momentum according to the Bohr model. The waveband model provides a one-dimensional analogy of the full quantum description and can serve as a teaching tool to facilitate understanding the geometric aspects of energy quantization in the hydrogen atom. It demonstrates that energy quantization is a natural consequence of the standing wave geometry and the addition of successive full periods along the orbit as the system transitions to the next energy eigenstate after activation. The electron is a stable eigenstate of a quantum field whose behavior in bound systems can be geometrically interpreted as the self-resonance of a de Broglie wave satisfying the condition of single-valent phase, rather than as a local particle with a classical trajectory. Self-resonance of a wave means that the condition of single-valent phase of the wave function after a complete orbit around the nucleus is satisfied, i.e., the requirement that the phase change be an integer multiple of 2π; this is equivalent to the Bohr–de Broglie condition for the closure of the de Broglie wave.

Rotational motion

Peter Atkins, Julio de Paula, James Keeler

This chapter focuses on the concept of rotational motion. It explains that energy and angular momentum for a particle rotating in two- or three-dimensions are quantized and satisfied cyclic boundary conditions, which imply the quantization of angular momentum's magnitude and z-component. The electronic structure of atoms showcases rotational motion because electrons orbit around nuclei and spin on their axis. The chapter details the solutions for the Schrödinger equation and the vector model of angular momentum. It also discusses the concept of space quantization revolving around the quantum mechanical result of a rotating body that may not take up an arbitrary orientation concerning some specified axis.

Bohr Model

James W. Rohlf

The Bohr model is historically important in the understanding of quantum physics. It gives many important results for the hydrogen atom including atomic size and ionization energy. It is sometimes referred to as a semi-classical calculation, because it includes the physics of angular momentum quantization without the full quantum mechanical description of an electron wave. It is tremendously useful for gaining physical intuition of the quantum nature of the atom. In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron has a circular orbit with speed v and radius r about the proton. The Bohr quantization condition is that an integer number of electron (de Broglie) wavelengths must fit to the atomic circumference.

Bohr Model

Z. Ficek

This chapter illustrates Niels Bohr's ideas in some detail. In the formulation of his model, Bohr assumed that the electron in the hydrogen atom moves under the influence of the Coulomb attraction between it and the positively charged nucleus, as assumed in classical mechanics. The Bohr model was very successful in explaining the discrete atomic spectra of one-electron atoms. The Bohr model is, of course, a theoretical model of an atom. Using Bohr's quantization postulate, find the linear velocity of the electron's sphere. To find the radius of the orbit, Bohr postulated that the angular momentum of the electron is quantized, i.e., it can only take values that are integer multiples of ħ. The chapter begins with considering the classical equation of motion for the electron in a circular orbit, which is based on Newton's laws of motion and Coulomb's law of electric force.

On the analogy between the stationary states of a particle bound in a one-dimensional well and standing waves on a string

V. Černý, Ján Pišút, Peter Prešnajder

The analogy between standing waves on a string and the stationary states of a particle in an infinitely deep potential well, frequently used in elementary presentations of the ideas of quantum mechanics, is critically analysed. The author suggest a way to avoid the incorrect intermediate steps sometimes used in this analogy. In contrast to the conclusions of a recent paper by Lacina (1985), they find the analogy viable.
