Nuclear Atomic Model: Definition & Overview

Click For Summary
The nuclear atomic model, first proposed by Ernest Rutherford, describes an atom as having a small, dense nucleus at its center, surrounded by orbiting electrons. This model emphasizes the nucleus's minimal volume compared to the overall size of the atom. Rutherford's findings revolutionized the understanding of atomic structure by introducing the concept of a central nucleus. The model laid the groundwork for future developments in atomic theory, including quantum mechanics. Overall, the nuclear atomic model remains a fundamental concept in modern chemistry and physics.

What is meant by nuclear atomic model?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Based on some trivial research (google the expression), it appears to mean the model first proposed by Rutherford that an atom consists of a nucleus (very small volume) surrounded by electrons.
 
Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'
I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
