| Résumé : |
This open access textbook introduces beginning undergraduate students and high school students to the world of quantum mechanics and atomic spectroscopy. Requiring no previous knowledge of physics and no math beyond basic algebra and sines and cosines, this book focuses on concepts to make the excitement of atomic physics more accessible for learners than ever before. It comes replete with learning goals, exercises and solutions, and an optional experimental component, making this text readily adoptable for both the classroom and the undergraduate lab.
The book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour through topics at the forefront of current science, including photons, quantum numbers, atomic energy levels, some different spectroscopy techniques, electronic structure, atomic notation, angular momentum, hyperfine structure, isotope shifts, the strong force, an introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and more.
This book is divided into two parts,The first part,titled atom-light interactions,explores spectroscopic techniques used to extract informatio about atomsthe second part,titled digging deeper :quantum mechanics and beyond,examines the underlying physics of atomic structure,covering atomic notation,the principles bechind it,current scientific understanding,and ongoing mysteries.
Generally,part I is for learners intersted in bow we acquire knowledge about atoms,while part II is aimed at those keen on understanding the fundamental physics of atoms.Readers may skip part I if they are solely interseted in the physics of atomic structure,but they should complete chap.1 before moving on to part II.The text also includes three appendices and a glossary that should serve as valuable references for readers.Appendix A is a periodic table,Appendix B is a long table that contains a lot of useful information about the atoms on the periodic table,and Appendix C lists all of the quantum mechanics rules that need to be satisfied for an electron to transition between two atomic states.
