(Identity matrix)

Poisson՚s and Laplace՚s equations are easily derived from gauss՚s law (for a linear, isotropic material medium)

And

Substituting (2) in (1) gives

For an inhomogeneous medium. For a homogeneous medium, equation (3) becomes

This is known as Poisson՚s equation. A special case of this equation occurs when = (i.e.. for a charge free region) . Equation (4…

• The Compton Effect experiment gives direct evidence that electromagnetic radiations consist of photons, which collide with electrons, for example, like one billiard ball colliding with other ball. In fig (1) , we show schematically, the experimental arrangement of Compton Effect. An X-ray beam of known single wavelength from source S falls on the m…

• Molecules that have permanent electric dipole moments can absorb or emit electromagnetic radiation in for infra-red or microwave transition. It means that homonnuclear diatomic molecules such as symmetric linear molecules such as and spherical-top polyatomic molecules such as do not exhibit rotational spectra.
• In practice, rotational spectra are …

When we solve the determinate from the kroning penny model, we get

To simplify this equation, Kronig and Penny considered the case when and b approaches zero but the product remains finite, i.e.. the potential barriers become delta function. Under these circumstances, the model is modified to the one of a series of wells separated by initially thi…

• As we know, all (heteronuclear) diatomic molecules with “unlike” atoms, for which the Centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide, have a permanent dipole moment. During the rotation of the molecule, the component of the dipole moment in a fixed direction changes periodically with the frequency of rotation, , of the molecule so that, …
