The Bohr model of the Hydrogen atom: atomic spectra and quantization, Quantum Lecture – 4 and 5.
Light is known to have possessed various colors. It would be more appropriate to state that light and color are two entirely distinct entities. Light does not contain color just like you do not contain your spouse. Its another matter you both appear at the same venue on the basis of the same invitation card.…

Black body radiation, Quantum Lecture 1.
This article belongs to a group of lectures I intend to prepare for their online dissemination — no hand written notes of the same is available as I did not deliver these lectures, its an attempt at on-the-fly preparation of the concepts, exclusively available at this website. This series is on quantum mechanics and bears…

LIGO in India? You must be kidding …
I was pleasantly surprised that this experiment is slated to come up in India, yes, with a whopping 250 million dollars investment into science in India is perhaps the only 2nd instance of massive science euphoria. And they are both directly or immediately so, in my field of research, although the first one INO isn’t…

What happens when squirrels do not move.
Stationary state and squirrels ! Okay so the squirrel isn’t moving around so much, giving a fuzzy image. We can call the instant during which the squirrel wasn’t moving akin to a “gross” stationary state. But why is the railing of window fuzzy? It isn’t moving ! Diffraction. Due to diffraction enough light is coming…

Waves, particles and Einstein !
Waves are something that have no mass and move at the maximum speed, mass m = 0. speed c = 1. So whats their momentum? p = m.v = 0? Right? No. For pure waves; momentum does not come from mass. It comes only from motion. (pure wave; they do not have mass) For matter…
