After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the principles of the quantum mechanics. They shall comprehend spectroscopy as applied quantum mechanics and shall be able to derivate thermodynamic parameter from spectroscopic data by the aid of statistical thermodynamics.

Franck-Hertz experiment, particle in a box, electronic transitions in polyolefins, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotator, IR and MW spectroscopy, statistical thermodynamics.

Historical experiments are explained on the basis of the theory and in dependence to the laboratory course. Spectroscopic data are shown and interpreted.

The course will be held in WS 22/23 in presence. In addition, PowerPoint slides with diagrams, illustrations, derivations, explanations, etc. as well as additional audio explanations will be made available in TUWEL for each lecture unit.

Thus, the lecture can easily be listened to time-delayed, however, the thematic and temporal interlacing with VO and UE has to be considered.
