What is complementarity theory?

Complementarity theory posits that human social coordination is the product of structured psychological proclivities linked to corre- sponding cultural paradigms. People cannot use either their socially transmitted paradigms or their evolved proclivities independently of each other.

What is the principle of complementarity in biology?

Complementarity is an epistemological principle derived from the subject—object or observer—system dichotomy, where each side requires a separate mode of description that is formally incompatible with and irreducible to the other, and where one mode of description alone does not provide comprehensive explanatory power.

What are complementary operators?

It is important to note that each relational operator is a complement of one other relational operator. The operator > has complement <=; similarly < has complement >=; and lastly, == has complement !=

Who announced the complementary relation between the wave and particle aspects of electron?

An understanding of the complementary relation between the wave aspects and the particle aspects of the same phenomenon was announced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1928 (see complementarity principle).

What are the assumptions in Bohr’s atomic model?

Bohr’s Atomic Model was for the hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like species (species with only one electron). Hydrogen Bohr model was based on some assumptions which are listed below:

What are the limitations of the Bohr model?

Limitations of Bohr Atomic Model Theory: It violates the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Bohr atomic model theory considers electrons to have both a known radius and orbit i.e. known position and momentum at the same time, which is impossible according to Heisenberg.

Why was Bohr’s atom not consistent with classical physics?

Describe the Thompson, Rutherford, and early planetary models of the atom, and explain why the latter is not consistent with classical physics. State the major concepts that distinguished Bohr’s model of the atom from the earlier planetary model.

How does the Sommerfeld model differ from the Bohr model?

The Bohr Model also does not explain the Zeeman Effect or the fine or hyperfine structure in specula lines. The Sommerfeld model arose as a refinement to the Bohr model and fixes many of the problems with the Bohr model, including that the electrons travel in elliptical orbits rather than in circular orbits.
