Nuclear Chain Reaction Enrico Fermi
1,302 wordsTHE HISTORICAL CONTEXT WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC BOMB The New York Press reports: "New hope for releasing the enormous stores of energy within the atom has arisen from German scientists." World famous Niels Bohr of Copenhagen and Enrico Fermi of Rome, both Nobel prize winners, acclaim this experiment as one of the most important in recent years. Fermi now realized that his new element 93 had been a product of splitting the uranium atom. At this time the release of nuclea...

Subatomic Particles Quantum Mechanics
756 wordsQuantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic particles and their behavior patterns that are observed in nature. As the foundation of scientific knowledge approached the start of the twentieth century, problems began to arise over the fact that classic physical ideas were not capable of explaining the observed behavior of subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist Neil's Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model of the atom that began the process of a more defined understanding of its su...

Niels Bohr Model Of The Hydrogen Atom
365 wordsNiels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, was the primary reason for the understanding of energy levels. Bohr was able to explain the bright line spectrum of hydrogen. Sparked by the recent discovery of the diffraction patterns, scientists believed electrons could be described as waves. Bohr hypothesized that energy is being added to the hydrogen gas in the electricity form, and then leaving the gas in the form of light. He figured the light rays to be quantized, meaning only certain frequencies ...

University Of Cambridge Nobel Prize
1,240 wordsT 3 IBS Chemistry Historical Development of Atomic Structure The idea behind the atom goes back to the Ancient Greek society, where scientists believed that all matter was made of smaller, more fundamental particles called elements. They called these particles atoms, meaning not divisible. Then came the chemists and physicists of the 16 th and 17 th centuries who discovered various formulae of various salts and water, hence discovering the idea of a molecule. Then, in 1766 was born a man named J...

Niels Hendrik David Bohr Niels Hendrik David Atomic
310 wordsNiels Hendrik David Bohr Niels Hendrik David Bohr was one of the foremost scientists of the 20 th century. The Nobel prizewinning physicist was known for his development of the theory of atomic fission that led to the development of the atomic bomb. He was born on Oct. 7, 1885, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His father, Christian, was a professor at the University of Copenhagen and his brother, Harold, was a great mathematician. He entered the university in 1903. In 1907, he earned his PhD went to Engl...

Werner Heisenberg Atomic Bomb
4,243 wordsFriends and mortal enemies When I wrote Copenhagen, about the German physicist Werner Heisenberg's visit to Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist, in 1941, I thought it unlikely that anyone would want to produce it. Even if I sometimes hoped I might find some small theatre somewhere that would take it on, I cant remember ever thinking that anyone would come to see it, much less have strong views about it. The successful run in London from 1998 to 2001, unexpected and gratifying as it was, passed peac...
