Integrated Course AIIMS-SYLLABUS Physics syllabus Electromagnetic Spectrum

Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum refers to the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths or frequencies, each corresponding to a different type of electromagnetic radiation. From longest to shortest wavelength, the…

Qualitative quantum mechanical picture of hydrogen atom

The hydrogen atom is one of the simplest quantum mechanical systems and can be described qualitatively using several key concepts. First, the electron in the hydrogen atom is not confined to a specific location in space but rather exists in a “cloud” of probability called the electron density. The electron density gives the probability of…

Wave-particle duality

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the nature of matter and light. It refers to the fact that particles, such as electrons and photons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, depending on how they are observed and measured. In some experiments, particles behave as discrete, localized particles with a definite…
