SOME ASPECTS OF THE APPLICATION OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS IN THE STUDY OF THE MAIN QUANTUM NUMBERS OF THE LINES OF THE BALMER SERIES: COMPETENCY SKILLS IN PHYSICS IN CADETS-SEAFARERS

Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of the research topic with respect to the emission/ absorption spectra of non-interacting atoms is given. The structure of the atom is determined by the intensity and frequency of spectral lines, this is a separate feature – the rationale for the use of spectral analysis as a method of identifying relevant natural substances by their chemical structure, internal composition, and individual physical characteristics. The theoretical description of the states of atoms and molecules is based on the application of the laws of quantum mechanics. Purpose. Study of the main quantum numbers of the Balmer series, using the appropriate sequence of specific actions developed and implemented by marine higher education seekers, with the establishment of structural relationships between variables and elements of the studied system – based on systems analysis. Improving the competent qualities of higher education students in the development of the experimental part of the study within the educational component “Physics”. Results. The research is based on a certain sequence of actions developed by applicants for higher education, in order to accumulate knowledge, skills, and abilities in the educational component “Physics” (section “Quantum Mechanics”). The monochromator spectroscope UM 2 (2nd generation device) was used in the work. As a clear example, the sequence of actions based on system analysis is shown, with the corresponding result – determination by reference to micrometric equipment of wavelengths (corresponding spectrum), Balmer. A fragment of the energy spectrum of a hydrogen atom was constructed (using hydrogen as a test substance in a spectral lamp). Conclusions. Applicants for higher education have acquired relevant skills, in particular in solving complex specialized problems and practical problems in the field of quantum physics of the relevant component; the ability to substantiate their own point of view, to develop appropriate step-by-step instructions within the application of systems analysis, applying relevant theories, concepts in the field of marine engineering.
