Niels Bohr contributed the quantum theory of atomic structure which basically states that an atom emits electromagnetic radiation only when an electron changes from one energy level to another, thereby changing our understanding of atomic "shells" to think of them more as energy levels that are to some extent inter-navigable by the electrons. He based his theories on the extensive work of Max Planck and Ernest Rutherford and contributed greatly to today's research of quantum physics which is our future.

∙ 9y agoYes, he developed the first theory that correctly explained the photoelectric effect. This involved both the properties of photons and atoms.
He was actually awarded his Nobel Prize for this paper and his paper on Brownian motion, not Relativity (which was considered too revolutionary).

∙ 14y agoBased on conversations with Rutherford Niels Borh developed the Bohr nuclear model of the Atom. It is the one you have met in elementary school where Protons and Neutrons form a core with electrons circling in fixed orbits around the core. The orbits explained (some kind of) radiation which had hitherto been a mystery.

What is ejected from atoms when they wiggle?
photons
What has a neutral electric charge?
atoms, molecules, neutrons, neutrinos, photons and others
Why glow appears in discharge tube?
because excite of gaseous atoms emit photons .
What is the Difference between electrons and photons?
Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
Absorption of light by atoms of an element occurs when photons are?
absorbed by electrons that move to higher energy levels
What is ejected from atoms when they wiggle?
photons
What did Albert Einstein call the quanta of light energy?
photons
What type of atoms are in electromagnetic waves?
EM waves are not made out of atoms -- they come in "chunks" called photons. But photons and atoms are completely different things. The statement, "light is composed of many atoms" is almost completely wrong.
How the albert Einstein explain the photoelectric effect?
Apex Light is made of photons.
How did Albert Einstein explain photoelectric effect?
Apex Light is made of photons.
What scientists work did Einstein use to study photons?
Aubrey Graham and Sean Anderson
What did Einstein discover about atom?
Einstein discovered that atoms had protons and neutrons.
Which type of eletromagnetic energy has the highest energy?
Gamma rays. Gamma rays are photons, but very high energy photons. They are the photons generated by processes in the nuclei of atoms.
What invention did albert einstein become famous for?
E=mc², Einstein's Theory of Relativity and then in 1905 Einstein came up with the concept that light is made up of particles called photons.
Who developed the theory of photons being quantized?
Einstein, and he used the theory to describe the photoelectric effect.
What was Albert Einstein's contribution to our understanding of the photoelectric?
he described light as little packets called photons
How do you account for the luminosity of the flame?
heat excites atoms and photons are released
