Every student knows today (and has known for a long time) that atoms can emit visible light, infrared rays, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. The latter are no longer emitted by the electrons of an atom, but by its nucleus.

Every student knows that electrons rotating in an atom in their orbits around the nucleus DO NOT EMIT electromagnetic waves, and therefore they do not lose their kinetic energy and do not fall on the nucleus, atoms are very durable! The explanation for this strange phenomenon, which contradicts the laws of electrodynamics, was given by Niels Bohr in 1913, and thus resuscitated a stillborn the proposed Planetary Model of the atom.by Ernst Rutherford in 1911.

(In the years before him, almost similar models were proposed by the French physicist Perrin and the Japanese physicist Nagaoka. Nagaoka’s model, by the way, was closer to modern quantum concepts – he took Saturn as a model prototype, not the solar system, where Saturn’s RINGS played the role of rotating electrons – a kind of specifically quantum probabilistic “smearing” of the electron’s position.)

The wavelengths (or quantum frequencies) emitted by the electrons of an atom during the transition from higher orbits to lower ones are due to the difference in the total energy of the electrons before and after the transition. And due to this difference in the kinetic and potential energies of the electrons, a certain portion of electromagnetic energy is emitted. It should not be forgotten that an electron rotating in a “higher” (distant from the nucleus) orbit moves SLOWER than the same electron entering a “lower” (closer to the nucleus) orbit, that is, it MUST rotate there at a higher speed. Its kinetic energy increases during this transition. Its potential energy decreases and this energy difference is emitted in the form of a photon. (the quantum of the electromagnetic field).

So, everything is clear, simple and understandable.

To EVERYONE!

Except for the fool Esprit!

Every student who was interested in radio engineering, looking through, without even studying carefully, some dictionary or reference book on radio engineering, knows that for the most effective emission of an electromagnetic wave, an antenna, a radiating element, the simplest, linear-dipole, must have a length of a quarter of the wavelength of the emitted wave. For example, if a certain transmitter emits waves one meter long, then the length of its dipole antenna should not be longer or shorter than 25 centimeters. If it is different, shorter, for example, the energy received from the radio generator will NOT be radiated as much as it simply heats up the antenna material.

And in connection with this most elementary knowledge, Esprit fool compared the size of an atom with the length of the waves it emits (quantum frequencies). It turned out to be a strange thing.

The size of an atom is one Angstrom, which is one hundred millionth of a centimeter.

But, say, the quanta of visible light have wavelengths from 7500 (Red) to 3800 (Violet) Angstroms.

If we assume that an electron “jumping” from one orbit to another passes a distance of generally a fraction of an Angstrom, then HOW is such a micro-nano emitter generally capable of emitting a more or less serious amount of electromagnetic field energy?

After all, even if we imagine a certain electron orbiting the nucleus, and, contrary to Bohr’s idea of “stationary” (non-radiating orbits), it still radiates (Because it is a typical dipole antenna in the plane of its orbit), then the wavelength of such a wave from an emitter with a diameter of one Angstrom should be 4 Angstroms, and not many thousands!

I came up with an explanation for this “paradox” and described it a couple of years ago: The electron does not jump, but moves in a rather long spiral from an upper orbit to a lower one. And it is precisely the coils of the spiral that create waves contained in a single quantum.

(See the article “Skipping the orbital spiral”, 18 V 2023).

Otherwise, the atoms would have to emit continuous X-ray and gamma rays (which follows from the simplest arithmetic calculations of the length of the orbit and the velocity of the electron in the atom). If we imagine the above-mentioned situation, then, taking the length of the outer orbit as three Angstroms, and the speed of an electron at one thousand kilometers per second, the length of the emitted wave will turn out to be X-ray or gamma!

THAT’S ALL!

But atoms also emit quanta of infrared radiation – tens of thousands of Angstroms!!!

The fool Esprit has no other explanation than his usual far-fetched hypothesis about the SPIRAL DESCENT of an electron from one orbit to another!

P.S. This spiral does NOT fit into the size of an atom, but rather resembles some kind of asteroid or comet, moving through a long ellipsoidal spiral with a large eccentricity around the Sun in accordance with the requirements of radio technology. Otherwise, the spiral inside the atom in the “sideways” projection will remain as small as the atom itself.

Another assumption that does not negate helicity is that the laws of the MACROCOSM simply DO NOT APPLY to the atom! Physics and radio engineering are different there!

P.P.S. WHICH ONES? And, here are the ones: If you accept my hypothesis about the extension of the conclusions of the General Theory of Relativity to the phenomena of lectromagnetism (see the corresponding notes), then electromagnetic fields of ENORMOUS INTENSITY act in an atom, which means that space is strongly curved and time is slowed down. I don’t know how the curvature of space inside an atom affects it. But it is enough to assume TIME TO SLOW DOWN THERE. According to THEIR watches, a really, very short pulse of waves is emitted there. But when this pulse appears in our time, it comes to us strongly stretched in time, its FREQUENCY is LOW! And the low frequency of field oscillations in OUR SPACE also means a strong wave elongation!!! So the tiny oscillator emits “long” WAVES that far exceed its “antenna” dimensions!

SIMILAR TO THE STRONG “REDDENING” OF LIGHT QUANTA EMITTED BY VERY MASSIVE STARS. The quanta of the Sun’s light are well known to detect gravitational “reddening” compared to the same but emitted atoms outside the gravitational field. Therefore, the radiation of atoms is “STRETCHED” over time by its powerful internal fields many times, and this is how we perceive it!
