Atoms and Energy

Abstract

In this chapter, we look at the energy of electrons in an atom and determine how the quantum state of the atom changes over time. This leads us to introduce the energy operator, or Hamiltonian, and the Schrodinger equation that governs the behaviour of quantum systems. We show how light can interact with an atom, and as a demonstration of the quantum theory developed so far we explain how atomic clocks work.
