Fron wiki:
spin–orbit interaction causes shifts in an electron's atomic energy levels due to electromagnetic interaction between the electron's spin and the magnetic field generated by the electron's orbit around the nucleus. This is detectable as a splitting of spectral lines.
The splitting is given by [itex]\mu * B[/itex] (mue* Borbit)
I have a few questions:
1- does the angular momentum of the electron Le play any role in this interaction? (Le - Bo)
2- how is experimentally determined the value of L(e) = 1/2 hbar?
3- is there a magnetic field of the electron Be? if yes , what is its value; if not , how come?
4- if there is /or were a Be, how would this interact with the magnetic field of the orbit Bo? (Be - Bo)
Your help is greatly appreciated
