Atomic Structure and Spectral Lines is an early twentieth century textbook on atomic physics by Arnold Sommerfeld. The book was referred to as the "Bible of atomic physics".[1] The book was developed from advanced lectuers in atomic physics that Sommerfeld gave at the University of Munich.
Background
editThe book was developed from advanced lectuers in atomic physics that Sommerfeld gave at the University of Munich.[2]
Sommerfeld later wrote the textbook series Lectures on Theoretical Physics based on the introductory courses he gave at the same school.
