AS 713 Spectroscopy in Astrophysics Fall 2014
... This course presents the physical basis for spectroscopic measurements in astronomy. We will therefore cover elementary quantum mechanics, to see where the energy levels come from, and statistical mechanics, to see what determines the strength of a spectral line. Armed with our copious knowledge, we ...

But how was the “wave associated with the particle” to be interpreted. De Broglie suggested that the wave might represent the particle itself. Schrodinger believed that ...

As a consequence of a cumulative effect of this “Planckscale phenomenology”, we should have a complete loss of phase of the e.m. radia ...
