Abstract
The idea that a ‘magnetized’ charged particle in interaction with ‘resonant’ photons operates from an energy level to another higher one by a stochastic acceleration effect suggests that such effects may represent a phenomenological physical mechanism which explains how an electron jumps to higher atomic orbits when it absorbs resonant photons. If we increase the number of iterations of the corresponding nonlinear system of equations, we obtain a Bohr image of an atom. Such (quantum-transition) jumps, their duration and physical mechanism have never been explained by the quantum theory of atoms. We thus offer through such a cascade of chaotic kicked (stochastic acceleration) effects a physical explanation of the quantum model of absorption of energy by an atom. The proposed equations can model a circuit biased with a traveling electromagnetic wave. Such a circuit can also simulate a stochastic acceleration and a chaotic atom.
