1. Problem:
Consider Hydrogen in its ground state in a magnetic field of magnitude B.
Compute the effect of the magnetic field on the hyperfine structure of Hydrogen
(that is you should include the interaction of both the proton and electron magnetic
moments with the applied magnetic field). Give the values of the energy eigenvalues
for B = 1 gauss and for B = 104 gauss.
the hamiltonian for a dipole moment is H=-μB
μp=gpeSp/2mp
μe=-eSe/me
F=J+I where F is the atom's total angular momentum
well, i think that the Hamiltonian looks like:
H=μeBp+Bext(μe+μp)
so do we just act this H on the ground state wave function?
