Quantum Physics

This book Quantum Physics an introductory text for undergraduate and post graduate students of physics contains eight chapters with objective type questions solved examples and exercises. The text has been presented in a simple manner with examples and derivations that would help students to grasp the subject matter easily. The book deals with the inadequacy of classical physics Schr6dinger equation operators free particle particle in a box harmonic oscillator hydrogen atom potential barrier and wells angular momentum scattering approximation methods and multi electron systems free electron theory Kronig-Penney model nucleon-nucleon scattering alpha decay rotational and vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules etc. Key Features • Focus on treating core concepts • Derivations are given with adequate detail • Solved examples and problems at the end of each chapter • Objective Type Questions at the end of each chapter <B> Contents </B> 1.
