Bohr atom
is always a great word to know.
So is acceleration of gravity. Does it mean:
| the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves, transmitted through an intervening medium or space, and absorbed by another body |
| the acceleration of a falling body in the earth's gravitational field, inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the body to the center of the earth |

Cultural Dictionary
Bohr atom [(bawr)]The simplest modern picture of the structure of the atom, according to which electrons move in orbits around the nucleus. The electron's orbits can exist only at certain well-defined distances from the nucleus. When an electron changes orbits, it does so in a sudden quantum leap. The energy difference between the initial and final orbit is emitted by the atom in bundles of electromagnetic radiation called photons.
Note: The Bohr atom is named after the twentieth-century Danish physicist Niels Bohr.
