Summary: The book "Introduction to Atomic and Nuclear Physics" by Harvey E. White is designed to provide an elementary text on atomic and nuclear physics for students majoring in physical or life sciences. The text is structured to follow a one-semester or a one-year course in classical physics and requires only algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It covers topics from gravitational fields and potential to atoms with two valence electrons, moving frames of reference, interferometers, lasers, photon collisions, atomic waves, Beta and Gamma rays, neutron and gamma ray reactions, atomic nucleus, fission, fusion, nuclear energy, and elementary particles. The book also includes discussions on special atomic and nuclear effects, such as Mossbauer effect and nuclear resonance absorption. The chapters conclude with questions and problems for further exploration in the field of atomic and nuclear physics. The text sheds light on significant experiments like X-ray diffraction patterns and reveals the historical context of discoveries, such as the accidental discovery of X rays by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1895. Various experiments, like Fizeau's measurement of light in moving water and Von Laue's diffraction of X rays by crystals, are elucidated to illustrate essential concepts in the field of atomic and nuclear physics.
