  We analyze Bohm's potential effects both in the realms of Quantum Mechanics
and Optics, as well as in the study of other physical phenomena described in
terms of classical and quantum wave equations. We approach this subject by
using theoretical arguments as well as experimental evidence. We find that the
effects produced by Bohm's potential are both theoretically responsible for the
early success of Quantum Mechanics correctly describing atomic and nuclear
phenomena and, more recently, by confirming surprising accelerating behavior of
free waves and particles experimentally, for instance.
