Is the quantization of energy/mass a fundamental or an emergent characteristic of reality. Quantum mechanics assumes that it is fundamental because it defines all interactions within it in terms of its quantized properties while one could say that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity defines it in terms of an emergent property of continuous space-time manifold … Read more
The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six different spectral emission lines of the hydrogen atom whose energy levels can calculated using an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. Later Neils Bohr sought to explain them by using the Rutherford model of … Read more
Quantum mechanics defines the spatial orientation of electrons in atoms only in terms of the probabilistic values associated with Schrödinger wave equation. In other words in a quantum system Schrödinger wave equation plays the role of Newtonian laws in that it predicts the future position or momentum of a electron in terms of a probability … Read more
