Comments to the snapshots from 23.08.2006 and 24.08.2006

History of Atom-concept 
     (Thomas model - Christmas pudding)

H  and  He - the first part of our study

Planetary models of atom (history ?? )

What is so different in optics: SHARP BOUNDARIES
(sharp interfaces)

Planetary models of atom - Rutherford experiments

Vacuum - in our rooms CRT (TV, computer screen)
Now beeing replaced by flat devices (Physics there??)

What is physical optics: see the notebook

Lasers: Laser light is like a classical EM-wave

Example of waves:  AM-radio;  modulation

Hydrogen Atom
Schrödinger equation  - postulated
Operators
Total energy - Hamilton operator
(Classical Mechanics)

Bound state solutions illustrated:
   in QM-courses: Bound states obtained 
   via Special Functions
   
   Can be obtained by numerical solutions
   BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
   (what are the boundary conditions??)
   
   solutions with "piecewise constant" potential
   Illustrate how to obtain a solution
