Niels Bohr
Born: October 7th, 1885
Died: November 18th, 1962
Niels Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Bohr attended the Gammelholm Grammar School until 1903; after GGS he studied at Copenhagen University where he was taught by Professor Christiansen (a highly endowed physicist), and earned his Master's degree in Physics in 1909 and his Doctor's degree in 1911. When the Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen offered a prize for the solution of a scientific problem, Bohr took up an experimental/theoretical investigation which won him the Gold Medal.
He pointed out that in nuclear processes, the size of the area where interactions take place will justify the transition processess and are described in a more simple way than in atoms.
Bohr used the Planetary Model of the Atom; showing how electrons move around the nucleus in a set path creating spectrum lines when they move.
