Lecture

Absorption Cross Section: Lorentz Model

Description

This lecture covers the concept of absorption cross section in the context of the Lorentz model, discussing the unit of area, Lorentzian lineshape, maximum absorption, and the work done on electrons. It also delves into the damping term in the electron oscillator model and its relation to electromagnetic wave radiation. The estimation of damping in Hydrogen and the presence of multiple resonances are highlighted.
