| | Niels Henrik David Bohr |
 | | In 1916, Bohr became professor of theoretical physics at the Univ. of Copenhagen, and in 1920 he was made director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, which he was instrumental in founding. |
 | | Bohr provided the solution to this problem in 1913, when he postulated that electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in restricted orbits and explained the manner in which the atom absorbs and emits energy. |
 | | Bohr was a leading figure in the continuing development of the quantum theory over the next twenty years. |
