AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the conditions under which the Bohr atom can be considered to behave classically. A participant seeks clarification on the Bohr correspondence principle, indicating that the explanation in their reading material was insufficient. Another participant emphasizes the need for specific quotes from the text to better address the confusion. The conversation highlights the importance of clear communication and context when discussing complex scientific principles. Understanding these conditions is crucial for grasping the transition from quantum to classical physics.

under what condition should the Bohr atom behave classically?

Hi,
Well, what have you found so far ?
By the way, is this homework ?

No, it's not a homework. I was just reading Bohr correspondence principle. There is little explanation in that book but I did not understand that's why I asked here just to make my concept clear.

Then you should quote that "little explanation". Otherwise, we have no clue on what you read and what exactly is the part that you did not understand.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...

Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'

Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'

(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...
