Homework Statement



Have to find the applied magnetic field for strong zeeman effect for sodium.

Given three resonance line components
580nm 585nm and 590 nm

Homework Equations



Ezeeman=B*Bohr Magneton*ml
ml= 0,1 or -1

The Attempt at a Solution



Change energy = hf = hc/wavelength
Can't get sensible magnetic field answer

change wavelength: 10nm so change in energy: 1.988x10-17

Bohr Magneton: 9.27 x 10 ^-24 J/T

B= very high answer 2.6 MT and should be low anywhere from 0 - 60 T

Something is wrong here but not sure how to do it.

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
