This lecture covers the current model of the atom, the Bohr model, and the dual nature of electrons as both particles and waves. It explains the emission spectrum of atoms, the photoelectric effect, and the quantization of energy levels in atoms according to Niels Bohr's work. The lecture also delves into the semi-quantum model proposed by Bohr for hydrogen atoms, detailing the energy levels and stability of electrons in different orbits.
