Synopsis

Explore how experimental spectroscopy shaped early quantum theory, with clear connections between theory and real-world observations.

Two chapters frame the work: it presents the experimental side of the quantum hypothesis as applied to spectroscopy, then shows how theory explains what is seen in the lab. The book emphasizes practical measurements, method development, and the way observed spectra guide later ideas in atomic structure. It also surveys how different elements reveal patterns in their line spectra, ionization potentials, and resonance behavior, using clear examples from metal vapors and basic atomic systems.

- Learn how spectra arise from electronic transitions and how collision processes excite specific lines
- See how resonance and ionization potentials relate to observable emission and absorption features
- Discover how experimental choices uncover patterns across elements, especially metals in Group II and alkali-like metals
- Find context for the development of energy diagrams, series limits, and the link between laboratory data and theory

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, nontechnical bridge between hands-on spectroscopy and the foundations of quantum theory, including students and professionals in chemistry, physics, and materials science.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
