In this worksheet, we will practice calculating the difference in potential energy between the spin states of electrons in an atom.
Q2:
A hydrogen atom is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of strength . Calculate the wavelength of light produced in a transition from a spin up to a spin down state of the atom.
Q3:
Which of the following is the magnitude of the spin momentum of an electron?
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
Q4:
A hydrogen atom is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of magnitude 800 T. Calculate the wavelength of light produced in a transition from a spin-up state to a spin-down state of an electron.
