Lorentz oscillator model
ID: lorentz-oscillator-model
The Lorentz oscillator model is a classical model used to describe the oscillation of charged particles (specifically, electrons) bound to an atomic nucleus. It is particularly useful in the field of solid-state physics and optics for explaining phenomena such as the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, particularly in the context of the dielectric response of materials.
