- Summary:
- Tennyson (U. College London) presents essentially a written version of his lecture course for third-year undergraduate students who had previously completed an introductory course on quantum mechanics covering the hydrogen atom, but no further atomic physics or spectroscopy. Among the topics he discusses are why to record the spectra of astronomical objects, atomic hydrogen, helium spectra, alkali atoms, spectra in magnetic fields, molecular structure, rotational spectra, and the electronic spectra of diatomic molecules.
