Download or read book A Companion to Angular Momentum written by Valeria D. Kleiman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-09-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 in the ocean of the rotating earth tend to follow circular motions. Designed as a learning tool for those with limited background in quantum mechanics and to compliment Zare's Angular Momentum, this book provides examples, problems, & solutions in angular momentum in quantum mechanics and its applications to chemistry and physics.
