In 1913, Niels Bohr's atomic model revolutionized physics by introducing quantized electron orbits. Electrons circle the nucleus in fixed paths, absorbing/emitting specific energy to jump between levels, explaining atomic stability & spectra

What's something that fascinates you about quantum physics?
For me, gravitons are incredibly intriguing. The idea that these hypothetical particles could explain the fundamental force of gravity is as revolutionary as the introduction of the photon concept in 1905.

It's interesting how electrons, when they get energized, jump between different levels within their atom, releasing light in the process.
It's like each atom has its own tiny fireworks 🎆 show, creating colorful spectral lines that serve as unique fingerprints for different elements

The Balmer series is named after Johann Balmer, who in 1885 figured out how to accurately predict the spectral lines emitted by a hydrogen atom using an empirical formula, now known as the Balmer formula.
However, at that time, it was still unclear why these spectral lines were produced.

In 1913, Niels Bohr explained that when electrons in a hydrogen atom get excited, they move up energy levels based on absorbed energy. As this energy dissipates, they return to lower levels, emitting light and creating a unique, colorful spectrum.

Intensity vs Frequency
Say we are dealing with blue light.
The Intensity of the blue light means its strength, brightness and power. These factors can change depending on what's emitting the blue light.
Now, if you were to increase the Frequency of the blue light, it would change to UV Light.

What I like about the photoelectric effect is how scientists initially dismissed it. The idea of light being made of photons seemed absurd to many.
Robert Millikan disliked Einstein's theory so much that he conducted experiments to disprove it. Ironically, his efforts ended up proving it right!

Building on Planck's revolutionary idea of Quanta. In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed that energy is made up of tiny packets of energy called PHOTONS!
Einstein proposed that when photons hit a metal surface at the right frequency, electrons will be ejected from the metal.

** Quantum Quips **
In 1874, Philipp von Jolly advised Max Planck against theoretical physics due to "almost everything already being discovered", little did he know that Planck would ignite the quantum revolution 26 years later.
Even when the path seems clear, new horizons can always emerge!

So knowing now what Planck's Law is, we can dive into what 'Planck's Constant' means.
Simply put, 'Planck's Constant' tells us the exact amount of energy in a 'Quanta'. This value becomes key in Quantum Physics when Einstein used it to explain the photoelectric effect and discover the Photon!

In simple terms, a black body is an ideal object that absorbs all light and energy it meets. It then gives off heat as light, depending on its temperature.

It's funny that Max Planck wasn't fond of his own solution to the ultraviolet catastrophe because it contradicted classical physics. In fact, he spent many years after trying to prove it wrong with classical physics.
He didn't realize that his work had just laid the foundation for Quantum Theory.
