Optical Sources and Atomic Structure, Lecture notes of Optics

The atomic structure of sub-atomic particles and the electronic shells. It also explains the hydrogen emission spectrum and the Bohr Theory of Atomic Structure. The document further explores light sources, including broadband and narrowband light sources, and introduces diodes and semiconductors. It also discusses junctions and their effect on electrical current. useful for students studying mechanical engineering, physics, and electrical engineering.

When sub-atomic particles were first discovered in 1897, theywere thought to orbit the nucleus like planets orbit the sun.Unfortunately, this is the atomic model still taught in manysecondary schools. In the mid-20th. century, it was discoveredthat the structure of the electronic shells was somewhat morecomplex consisting of:- up to at least seven capital-lettered shells (1=K, 2=L, 3=M,4=N, 5=O, 6=P, 7=Q)- up to at least 4 small-lettered orbitals (s, p, d, f)- each orbital is further divided into sub-orbitals: s has 1, p has 3,d has 5, f has 7- each of these sub-orbitals can accommodate two electrons.

,Helium (He) withits two electrons,has filled its s-

The Hydrogen Emission Spectrum

The hydrogen emission spectrum is a

line spectrum

, i.e. only

particular frequencies (wavelengths, energies) are observed.

The excited atom returns to the 'normal' state (ground state) byreleasing the excess energy as electromagnetic radiation of energy(E= h

) corresponding to the energy difference between the

ground state and the excited state.The fact that the hydrogen emission spectrum is a line spectrum –only radiation of very specific frequencies being emitted – meansthat only excited states of very specific energies are being formed.

A theory was proposed to account for

these observations.
