alpha*c is the speed you get for the electron in a Bohr orbit, utilizing the De Broglie wavelength. What is not apparent from the snippet quoted is why this velocity follows from a "screw type of motion". >Might I suggest all Not Off Topic (i.e., technical, aka, signal) postings >use NOT in the subject line to make them more obvious to those who care not to >waste bandwidth on the personal aspects of the Rossi saga > >In my latest session of serendipitous surfing, I was scanning a PDF of the >document in the Ref: section below, and noticed this little bit of text and >the accompanying calculation: >============================== >This screw type of motion obviously is optional and let us suppose that it >corresponds to the electron motion in Bohr atom at orbit a0 with energy of >13.6 eV.
