Chapter 21: Three Dimensional Quantum Mechanics
21.1 Introduction to Three Dimensional Quantum Mechanics While we have primarily discussed one-dimensional quantum mechanics up to this point, real-world quantum systems often exist in three dimensions. The principles of quantum mechanics can be extended to describe the behavior of particles in three-dimensional space, leading to a richer understanding of physical systems and enabling the…

Chapter 15: The Bohr Model of the Atom
15.1 Introduction The Bohr model, proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913, was one of the earliest attempts to explain the behavior of electrons in atoms. Though it is now considered a simplified model, it played a significant role in the development of modern atomic theory and quantum mechanics. This chapter will discuss the principles of…
