Atomic Physics

This course primarily deals with the scientific study of the atomic structure, atomic interactions with other particles and with magnetic and electrical fields, and the study of their energy states. This study includes the Bohr model, electronic configuration, exclusion principle, selection rule, spin, spin-orbit coupling, Stark and Zeeman effect, and magnetic dipole moment. The course progresses further with the introduction of the quantum mechanical view of atoms and its application in solving the hydrogen atom problems in ground and excited states. The course concludes by explaining the working of Laser and Holography.

Atomic Physics - Intro

Atomic physics is the field of physics that studies atoms as an isolated system of electrons and an atomic nucleus. It is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and the processes by which these arrangements change. The theory of quantum mechanics, a set of mathematical rules that describe the behaviour of matter and its interactions, provides a good model for the description of atomic structure and properties.

Bohr Model - Overview

In atomic physics, the Rutherford-Bohr model or Bohr model or Bohr model of the atom was first proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913. It was the first quantum theory of the atomic structure, applying the principles of quantum mechanics to the hydrogen atom. The Rutherford-Bohr model is a planetary model in which the electron is assumed to revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits. The Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom was based on Max Planck's quantum theory of radiation, which explained the spectrum of blackbody radiation, and Albert Einstein's theory of the photoelectric effect, which explained the origin of the spectrum of line emission from atoms. The Bohr model of the atom was the first to explain the discrete spectrum of hydrogen and how the spectral lines of the hydrogen atom were split into multiple spectral lines in a phenomenon called the fine structure. It introduced the Bohr radius and the concept of quantum levels to explain the discrete nature of the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model of the atom had a significant influence on the development of quantum mechanics, and was instrumental in the development and validation of quantum mechanics.

Hydrogen Atom - Overview

In physics, a hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element hydrogen. The electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force. Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.

Excited States - Overview

In physics and chemistry, an excited state of a system is any state of an atom or a molecule in which it has a higher energy than the ground state. Excitation is an elevation in energy level above an atom's or molecule's ground state. A system in which the electrons are excited is an excited system.
