In this video I will calculate and explain how the Bohr radius was determined. The small electron with a high velocity v traveling like a wave around the nucleus of an atom will have the path length equaling an integer of a wavelength. Using the de Broglie wavelength, centripetal force, and coulomb force equations we can calculate the radius of the Bohr atom.
