A Modified Bohr Model: Mechanism of Atomic Luminescence and Quantum Entanglement

Xiao En Wang, Yin Bo Wang

In his doctoral thesis in 1911, Bohr reached the conclusion that at thermal equilibrium metal atom has no magnetic effect. Therefore, when establishing the hydrogen atom model in 1913, he did not consider the Lorentz force, but only the Coulomb force. The radius of the hydrogen atom he obtained is half smaller, and the orbital rotation frequency is twice larger. It must be multiplied by 1/2 to be consistent with the value of the Rydberg experiment. He proposed to calculate the photon frequency by using the average value of the zero frequency of infinite quantum number and the basic frequency, but it is not applicable to the energy levels for the ordinary quantum numbers, and later he called it the correspondence principle. In our modified Bohr model, we eliminate and solve Bohr's half frequency problem; The photon energy is equal to the difference between the two energy levels, and the photon frequency is equal to the difference between the two rotation frequencies of the electron; All excited states of hydrogen atom are elliptical orbits, and the nucleus is located in the center of the ellipse; The microscopic model of photonic structure is established, and the microscopic mechanism of atomic luminescence and quantum entanglement is given.

A quantum model of atoms (the energy levels of atoms)

FranÇois Rafie

In 1913, Niels Bohr developed an accurate model for the hydrogen atom. The mathematics involved and the simplicity of this model is easily understood. The intention of the paper is not to replace Bohr's model, but to find a similar model for all atoms. The model discussed, which was developed on the same basis as Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom, calculates the radii and the energies of the orbits. The wavelength of an emitted photon when an electron makes a ‘jump’ from a higher state to a lower state can also be calculated from the model. Finally, the paper demonstrates that the model obeys the de Broglie's hypothesis that the moving electron exhibits both wave and particle properties.
