Publisher Description: Angular momentum is a basic concept used in classical physics.Examples of phenomena that are related to angular momentum are: 1)Why a moving bicycle does not fall over and 2) why the currents inthe ocean of the rotating earth tend to follow circular motions.Designed as a learning tool for those with limited background inquantum mechanics and to compliment Zare's Angular Momentum, thisbook provides examples, problems, & solutions in angularmomentum in quantum mechanics and its applications to chemistry andphysics. |
