Question

Why does an electron revolving in bohr orbits does not emit electromagnetic waves?

Answer 1

it doesn't emit light until it absorb energy

Answer 2

Hi there

So, one would expect that an electron orbiting a nucleus will radiate energy because atomic nucleus is positively charged and electron is negatively charged. ... The electron in lowest energy quantum orbit cannot radiate a photon because there is no lower energy quantum orbit available for the electron to jump to.


Thank You
