Niels Bohr physicist
Niels Bohr One of our very remarkable physicists in history is Niels Bohr. ... Niels Bohr was born on October 7th, 1885 in Copenhagen. ... As a young child Niels, along with his younger brother Harold, sat in on the group discussions between his father, Harold Hoffoling (professor of philosophy at the University of Copenhagen), C. ... Niels’s father holds responsibility for his strong passion of physics. Bohr’s childhood was much like other children’s, as he was allowed to play as well as study. ... His summers were spent at Bohr’s grandparents country home in Naenimgaard, just north of Copenhagen. ... Adler died while Niels was still young, so his grandmother, Jenny Adler ran the house. Bohr’s aunt, Hanna Adler spent some of her time at this country house also. She happened to be a teacher, so she helped Niels expand his knowledge. Niels Bohr attended Gammelholm School from 1st grade until he was ready for the University. ... While Bohr was still a student, the Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen triggered his interest by offering a prize for the solution of a specific scientific problem. ... When Bohr was twenty-five, he met Margrethe Norlund, and married her in 1912. She has been referred to as Bohr’s ideal companion. ... D, became a theoretical physicist, and followed in Bohr’s footsteps, as he was also the Director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics. ... ” Throughout the years of 1918- 1922, Bohr was busy at work and published three papers under the title of “On the Quantum Theory of Spectra”. ... Once his paper on the spectra was published, Bohr was deeply involved in the plans of the new University Institute for Theoretical Physics. ... Bohr’s next major contribution to physics came the next year through his works on the theory of atomic structure and the periodic system of the elements.
