A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Quantum basis of spectroscopy

The quantum basis of spectroscopy explains why atoms and molecules absorb or emit radiation only at specific energies rather than continuously. For exams, you must master quantized energy levels, the photon-energy relation, transitions between states, and the selection-rule idea that determines which transitions are allowed and therefore observable in a spectrum.
