Atomic and laser spectroscopy. (reprint, 1977).9780199211456 Atomic and laser spectroscopy Laser spectroscopy Spectroscopy with laser light or, more generally, studies of the interaction between laser radiation and matter. Lasers have led to a rejuvenescence of classical spectroscopy, because laser light can far surpass the light from other sources . (reprint, 1977) Corney, Alan. Oxford U. Press 2006 763 pages $79.50 Paperback Oxford classic texts in the physical sciences QC454 Corney presents an extended version of lectures on atomic physics atomic physics Scientific study of the structure of the atom, its energy states, and its interaction with other particles and fields. The modern understanding of the atom is that it consists of a heavy nucleus of positive charge surrounded by a cloud of light, negatively he delivered to third-year undergraduates at the University of Oxford. Readers are assumed to have completed introductory courses in electro-magnetism, atomic physics, and quantum mechanics quantum mechanics: see quantum theory. quantum mechanics Branch of mathematical physics that deals with atomic and subatomic systems. It is concerned with phenomena that are so small-scale that they cannot be described in classical terms, and it is . The later sections are also suitable for graduate students in atomic physics, lasers, astrophysics astrophysics, application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology. , and physical chemistry who are embarking on experimentation.
