Question
Electrons in a hydrogen atom are in a 3p excitation state transitioning
radiative to energy level 2s. Taking into account the spin orbital interaction, determine :
i) What is a spin orbit interaction?
ii) Show the separation of 3p and 2s energy levels in the energy level diagram
without an external magnetic field B
iii) Show the separation of 3p and 2s energy levels in the energy level diagram due to the presence of an external magnetic field B
iv) State the allowed transition conditions
v) Energy emitted when in space without a magnetic field
vi) Energy emitted if it is in a space with a magnetic field B = 1T
