    Course Learning Outcomes
    Students will learn the details of atomic and diatomic molecular (diatomic) structures in
    terms of quantum mechanical treatment elaborately beyond the basic models. It will give
    the descriptions of fine structure of atoms and rotational, vibrational and electronic energies
    of molecules manifesting in their respective spectroscopies.
    The details of these spectroscopies would serve as the fundamentals for various concerned
    experimental results. The basic principles of light coherence as laser with their types and
    variants will also be covered exposing the students to the important modern spectroscopic
    tool.
