The Atom and the Quantum

The Physics credentials document competencies in areas related to mechanics, materials, gasses and liquids, heating and cooling, acoustics, optics, electricity, and magnetism, radiation and nuclear physics, architecture, and a variety of related research and education areas. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain physics concepts by applying knowledge and solving problems related to quantum mechanics including the historical milestones related to discovery of the atom and electrons, the atomic spectra, the Bohr Model of the atom, electronic waves, and the Correspondence Principle.
