Course objectives and outcomes
The objective of this course is to familiarize the students with the branch of modern physics.
Atomic Physics remains a key component of physics, both because of its fundamental importance to the understanding of many aspects of modern physics and also because of the exciting new developments that have occurred in this field. The developments in nuclear physics have affected our worldview at ends, the microscopic and macroscopic. With dimensions of the order of 10 m and energies of the order of several   MeV involved in nuclear phenomena, the entire structure of classical mechanics falls apart.
