By allowing a single source of light to be divided into two parts with the use of two thin slits in a screen, we turn one source into two, and the resulting waves can then be made to interfere with each other, resulting in a static pattern.

Since the slits are narrow relative to the wavelength of the wave impingent on them, the spreading angle of the beams is large and the diffraction pattern from each slit individually is a cylindrical wave spreading out in all directions, as illustrated in Figure \PageIndex13:. The cylindrical waves from the two slits interfere, resulting…

Bohr used the planetary model to develop the first reasonable theory of hydrogen, the simplest atom. Atomic and molecular spectra are quantized, with hydrogen spectrum wavelengths.
