Atomic Physics and Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
Course #: PHYSIC 421
Description:
The fundamental and elementary applications of quantum mechanics with emphasis on physical content rather than formalism. Elementary wave mechanics developed and applied to simple atomic structure. Topics include spectroscopic and other phenomena which form the experimental basis of modern atomic physics, the role of the Pauli principle and spin in determining periodic atomic properties, and radiation phenomena.
Pre Requisites: Pre-req = PHYSIC 312 or permission of instructor
