Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. He was born on October 7, 1885, and passed away on November 18, 1962. Bohr is best known for the Bohr model of the atom, which introduced the idea that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. This model helped to explain why atoms emit or absorb light at characteristic frequencies, leading to the development of quantum theory.
