What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

The nucleus of a Tl atom (Atomic mass = 203, element #81) has a magnetic moment of 1.611 µn. A magnetic field is applied to it and its NMR frequency determined to be 3.90 MHz. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

2. Relevant equations

torque = magnetic moment x magnetic field
radius = mv/qB
v = rw
Fcentripetal = mv^2/r

3. The attempt at a solution
I tried (magnetic moment x magnetic field)/radius = mv^2/r but this always leaves me with r in the equation, which is unknown.

You can try looking in your textbook, or do an online search, for "Larmor precession" or "precession of magnetic moment" or something along those lines.
