Solutions Supplement to Accompany QUANTUM PHYSICS OF ATOMS, MOLECULES, SOLIDS, NUCLEI, AND PARTICLES Second Edition [hale Walrad = vary W.)] 1 vt Robert Eisberg Robert Resnick Prepared by Edward Derringh PREPACE This supplement contains solutions to most of the ore-involved problens in the QUANTUM PHYSICS text; with one exception, solutions to probless in the Appendices are not’ ineiudea. ‘The supplement is directed toward instructors, ant this has influenced the presentation, Kot every algebraic step is exhibited. The units have mot been displayed explicity in every equation. (SI units are adopted in the supplement, mainly because they are briefer than the text notation.) Rules with regard to significant figures have rot been stzictly’ ebserved, although there should be no outlandish violaticns. Use of sysbols ard choice of rotation 4s generally cbrious and therefore not exhaustively defined for each problen, Tt is » pleasure to thank Prof, Richard Shurtleff (Wentuorth Institute of Tectnology) for preparing the solutions to the problems in Chapter 18, Preparation of the supplenent, including choice of probleng, was left to the undersigned, who was also his ow typist and illustrator, He would appreciate a note, of up to moderate asperity, from those who detect’ an error and/or mistake.
