Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • unspecified - 42 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The student will learn theory of light (velocity and energy of light, wave and corpuscular properties of light), Schrödinger equation (models of exact solution for hydrogen atom, harmonic oscillator and rigid rotator), atomic and molecular orbitals, electronic absorption spectra, relationships between structure and colour of polyatomic molecules and objective evaluation of colour.
The student will be instructed on basics of quantum physics and relationships between structure and colour of organic molecules.
