Quantum Physics

Contents: 1. Experimental basis of quantum physics. 2. Introduction to quantum physics. 3. Mathematical formulism. 4. Solution of Schrodinger equation in one dimension. 5. Schrodinger equation in three dimensions. 6. Approximation methods. 7. Scattering theory. 8. The multiparticle Schrodinger equation. Bibliography.

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, Schrodinger 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
