Homework Statement
a) Identify the different total angular momentum states possible for the case l = 3, s = ½.
b) What is the minimum angle the angular momentum vector may make with the z-axis in the case of i) l = 3 and ii) l = 1?
c) A hydrogen atom in its ground state is subjected to an external magnetic field of 1.0 T. Find the difference in energy between the spin-up and spin-down states.
d) A hydrogen atom is subjected to a magnetic field B strong enough to completely overwhelm the spin-orbit coupling. Into how many levels would the 2p level split? What would be the spacing between these levels?
The Attempt at a Solution
dont know how to set up this problem but i know the answer to c is ΔU = 1.16 X 10-4 eV. Please help me set up this problem so that I can solve it
