Problem
The derivations leading to expressions for the radius and energy of stationary orbits in the Bohr model rest on specific assumptions.
(a) State any three fundamental assumptions on which the Bohr model is based.
(b) Explain the physical significance of the quantisation of angular momentum postulate in the context of atomic stability.
(c) Mention any two limitations that arise because of these assumptions when the model is applied to real atoms.
