PHYS 4603 - Symmetry and Spectroscopy


Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture
This course looks at atomic and molecular spectroscopy from a quantum mechanical perspective. Group theory is used to investigate the implications of symmetries of the Schrodinger equation for electronic, vibrational and rotational spectra. An introduction to the quantum theory of nuclear magnetic resonance is also included.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 3602 or CHEM 3602  with a grade of C- or higher.
Note: PHYS 4603 and CHEM 4603  are identical courses. Only one of these courses will count towards GPA calculation and graduation.
