Robert Hofstadter
Robert Hofstadter (1915 - 1990) developed a new experimental method for the investigation of the inner structure of atomic nuclei. His method was to bombard the atomic nuclei with electrons of very ...
Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics
A collection of pages from Cornell University concerning atomic and solid state physics.
Atomic Spectra Databases
The database contains data for transitions and energy levels in atoms and atomic ions, including transitions of 99 elements and energy levels of 51 elements.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. This is an example of a general principle which applies not only to electrons but also to other particles of half-integer spin ...
Free fall
Simulation of an object being dropped, with speed and time taken to fall from different heights. Velocity and gravity can be varied. Negative numbers for height put the object upwards.
Isotopes and Radioactivity
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes.
Wolfgang Pauli
Wolfgang Pauli (1900 - 1958) is best known for the Pauli exclusion principle, proposed in 1918, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. He was awarded ...
