Why in Bohr's model orbits with mVR= nh/2π are non radiating?
I'm curious about Bohr's model of the atom. Can you tell me why orbits with mVR = nh/2π are non-radiating?
Of course! In Bohr's model, electrons can only occupy certain orbits with specific energies. When an electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy one, it releases energy in the form of a photon, which we see as light. However, if an electron is in an orbit where its angular momentum is equal to nh/2π (where n is an integer), it won't release any energy because it can't jump to a lower energy orbit.
