Limitations of Bohr’s Quantum Theory of Spectra
Even though Niels Bohr’s quantum theory of spectra was regarded as one of the most revolutionary and successful theory of atomic dynamics, it was limited in the following ways: To overcome some of these limitations, Louis Victor de Broglie hypothesized that because photons have wave and particle characteristics, perhaps all forms of matter have wave…

Black Hole Evaporation Phenomenon
The discovery of a temperature seen by an accelerated fiducial observer adds a new dimension to the equivalence principle. Identical thermal effects can be expected to happen near the horizon of a very massive black hole. Nonetheless, in the case of a black hole a new phenomenon can take place, that is, evaporation. In contrast…
