Free Online Course: Atomic and Molecular Physics provided by Swayam is a comprehensive online course, which lasts for 12 weeks long. The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Atomic and Molecular Physics is taught by Amal Kumar Das.

Overview
  • Atom and molecule are the fundamental unit for all matters in universe. Matter, whatever the states, is made of atoms. The properties of all matters are governed by the electronic structure of atom and molecule. They have individual properties like electronic, magnetic and optical properties, which are quite different from the collective properties of matter made of atoms and molecules. This course will enlighten the knowledge of atoms and molecules and build up the pre-requisite knowledge for all science and engineering field.
