| NFYB43 | Atomic and Nuclear Physics, 5 ECTS-points /ATOM- OCH KÄRNFYSIK/ Advancement level: B | |
| Aim: The course contains some basic concepts of modern physics, developed in the 20th century. The wave nature of the electron and the construction of the atom and the atomic nucleus are essential parts of the course.Prerequisites: Attented NFYA31 Mechanics, NFYA32 Electromagnetic Fields and NFYA33 Electromagnetism and Waves.Course organization: Lectures, Physical seminars (see NFYA 45) and laboratory lessons.Course content: The duality of electromagnetic radiation and the wave nature of matter. The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. Orientation about quantum mechanics. The construction of the atoms and the periodic system. Optical and X-ray spectra. The construction of the atomic nuclei. Radioactive decay. The interaction between radiation and matter (including biological effects). Nuclear reactions and instruments for nuclear physics. Nuclear power plants. Elementary particles and cosmic radiation. Course literature: H. C. Ohanien, Modern Physics (2nd ed.), Prentice-Hall International, Inc.
