What Danish physicist's theory received experimental evidence from Moseley's work?

  • Max Planck

  • Albert Einstein

  • Niels Bohr

  • Werner Heisenberg

Answer

The Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in which electrons orbit the nucleus in shells. Moseley's experiments provided experimental evidence for Bohr's theory, by showing that the atomic number of an element is related to the energy of the electrons in its outermost shell. This evidence helped to confirm Bohr's theory and to establish it as a key part of our understanding of the atom.
