Atomic physics is the study of atomic and subatomic particles and their interactions. It is the fundamental study of the physical properties and dynamics of atoms, which are the basic unit of matter and are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. It involves the study of their energy levels and the interactions between atoms and light.
Subdivisions of Atomic Physics
Atomic physics is a broad field that can be divided into several subfields, including:
