Electrons as particles in Orbit (Bohr)
Now we have angular momentum, L, whichBohr hypothesizes
Is QUANTIZED
And we need to equate the centripetal (accelerating and electrostatic) forces

• The lowest energy state of an atom is called the ground state (an electron with n = 1 for a hydrogen atom)
Absorption and emission of energy by the hydrogen atom. An electron that absorbs energy is raised to a higher energy level. A particular frequency of light is emitted when an electron falls to a lower energy level.

Electrons as a linear standing wave
Where L is the total length, λ is the wavelength, and n is an integer.
n

The only waves that can occur are those for which a half-wavelength is repeated exactly a whole number of times (n times).

(n = 3 in this case)
