Introduction To Atomic Physics

---

"This book is part of a series of four separate texts covering the most important areas of modern physics. The other three volumes are. HA. Enge, Introduction to Nuclear Physics, Addison-Wesley, 1966, D. H. Perkins, Introduction to High-Energy Physics, Addison-Wesley (in press), and a text, Introduction to Solid State Physics, to be published later

The present text covers basically the area of atomic physics with wave mechanics, but it also has chapters on solid-state physics and nuclear physics The book is suitable for a one semester or two trimester course in modern physics. The complete series of four books or any combination starting with the present volume can be used for a series of courses in modern physics.

The material covered in this book is arranged roughly in chronological order, not because the historical sense is so important, but because it has proved to be pedagogically advantageous. However, subjects, such as x-rays and nuclear physics, which developed parallel to the basic understanding of the atom and were parts of it, are treated in late chapters.

Chapters 1 through 5 and Chapter 10 are revised and ""upgraded"" chapters from Wehr and Richards' Physics of the Atom Most of the rest of the material has been written by H. A. Enge, and both the ""upgrading"" and the new chapters are based on a course taught for a number of years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology This one semester course covered atomic physics with quantum mechanics and was followed by a second-semester course in nuclear physics.

It is unavoidable in any modern physics text that a significant step-up in the level of difficulty occurs at the point where wave mechanics is introduced The theory of wave mechanics is considerably more abstract than anything the average student has encountered at this point in his study of science There is no way to soften the blow, although the science libraries are full of attempts. It is my experience that attempts to make wave mechanics look plausible by half-hearted ""derivations"" are misleading and leave the students frustrated"
