Abstract

THIS introduction to atomic physics is based upon a course given at Princeton University, the purpose of the course having been to present the subject from a predominantly experimental point of view. Amongst the material included may be found radiation, atomicity of matter and electricity, thermionic and photoelectric effects, line spectra, atomic energy states, X-rays and radioactivity. Sufficient theoretical discussion is given to render the development systematic, but stress is laid on the experimental side and many experiments are described that are suitable for performance by students. Such experiments are by no means easy to arrange and this part of the book should make it of service to teachers who are planning a laboratory course on modern physics.
