I. Atomic Physics

By Prof. A.A. Soliman, Physics department of Women College for art, Science, and education of Ain Shams University.

 II. Prerequisite Course or Knowledge

Before you start this Course, you are expected to be familiar with pre-university calculus, geometry and to have done General Physics Courses 1 & 2, [codes, phy.101 &102].

III. Time

You are expected to spend 2 Credit hrs. Lecture + 1 Credit hr. Practical. / week, all 14 weeks long on this course [session interval]. You should share the time allocation such that Learning Activities. This works out to be 10 weeks for Atomic Models, Spectra and Structure, 2 weeks for X-Rays, and 2 weeks for Laser Chapter's.

IV. Material

The following list identifies and describes the equipment necessary for all the activities in this course. The quantities listed are required for each group.

1. Computer (With Internet Access): - A personal computer with word processing and spreadsheet software

2. Periodic Table of Elements: -

3. prepared course notes for each student -

V. Course Rationale

Atomic physics may loosely be defined as the scientific study of the structure of the atom, its energy states, and its interactions with other particles and fields. Learning Atomic Physics is important not only for understanding the physics of the atom but also the technological applications thereof. For example, the fact that each element has its own characteristic “fingerprint” spectrum has contributed significantly to advances in material science and in cosmology.
