Abstract:
|
Bohr proposed that the electron orbits have angular momentums that are discrete multiples of h-bar. Consequently, the orbits are occupied by standing waves, and no radiation takes place in them. However, radiation by an accelerating charge is a fact of electrodynamics. And Bohr's argument defies experiment, and places the electron-proton atom out of the laws of Electrodynamics.
We will assume that the Proton's orbits too, have angular momentums that are discrete multiples of h-bar. And that the energy radiated by the accelerating proton into the electron field equals the energy radiated by the accelerating electron into the proton field. Keeping the orbits energies in a dynamic equilibrium. This allows us to compute the Nucleus Radius of the Electron-Proton Atom. We obtain a radius of the order of 1/10^12
