Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 10a – The hydrogen atom and center-of-mass coordinates

This lecture part starts on the quantum mechanical solution of the hydrogen atom, one of the major triumphs of quantum mechanics and the ultimate basis for much of our understanding of all atoms in chemistry. Here the "center of mass" coordinate view of the electron and the proton in the hydrogen atom is constructed as the first part of this solution. (slides)

Abstract

This lecture part starts on the quantum mechanical solution of the hydrogen atom, one of the major triumphs of quantum mechanics and the ultimate basis for much of our understanding of all atoms in chemistry. Here the "center of mass" coordinate view of the electron and the proton in the hydrogen atom is constructed as the first part of this solution. (slides)
