Title: Why isn't antenna theory used to explain the quantum jump?
Post by: ron123456 on 07/02/2020 20:58:39
Bohr postulated the existence of certain orbits where the electron wouldn't radiate. He didn't state that the electron could not momentarily exist in-between these orbits. For instance, couldn't the Hydrogen Balmer series green light be explained using classical antenna theory with the electron momentarily spiralling down around the nucleus from a high energy level to a lower? This vibration would be dampened as the spirals got smaller and would produce a coherence length for the resulting wave train. This also would eliminate using probability to explain the electron being in two places instantaneously (quantum jump). Is this just garbage or perhaps reasonable metaphysics? Thx
