ACCORDING TO UNCERTAINITY STATIONARY ORBITS ARE ACCEPTED.

BECAUSE UNCERTAINITY IS TO THE POSITION OR VELOCITY OF THE ELECTRON BUT NOT TO THE ORBIT.AS WE KNOW THAT ENERGY OF THE ORBIT IS CONSTANT(STATIONARY ORBITS) BUT ELECTRON MAY LOSE OR GAIN ENERGY TO JUMP LOWER OR HIGHER ORBIT AND CHANGE THEIR VELOCITIES.SO STATIONARY ORBITS ARE ACCEPTED ACCORDING TOUNCERTAINITY.

according to uncertainity stationary orbits are not accepted because according to stationary orbit concept(by bohr)we can find electron''s velocity and position simultaneously which is not accepted by uncertainity principle.

The wavefunction itself is not stationary: It continually changes its overall complex phase factor, so as to form a standing wave. The oscillation frequency of the standing wave, times Planck''s constant, is the energy of the state according to the de Broglie relation.

Stationary states are quantum states that are solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger Equation:

$\hat H |\Psi\rangle=E_{\Psi} |\Psi\rangle$ ,

where

$|\Psi\rangle$ is a quantum state, which is a stationary state if it satisfies this equation;
$\hat H$ is the Hamiltonian operator;
$E_{\Psi}$ is a real number, and corresponds to the energy eigenvalue of the state $|\Psi\rangle$ .
