Abstract

In 1913, Danish physicist Bohr put forward the concept of atomic energy level and established the atomic model theory on the basis of Ernest Rutherford’s nuclear model and Planck’s quantum theory, which successfully explained the stability of atoms and the linear spectrum of atoms. This theory states that atoms do not radiate energy when they are in a stable state, and only radiate energy when they transition from a high-energy state (energy E m E_{m}
