Solution
Bohr assumes that an electron of an atom is located at a finite distance from the nucleus and revolves around the nucleus with a definite velocity which is against Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, it is impossible to determine simultaneously and accurately the exact position and the momentum of the moving particle.
