Question
TRQ9. Solve completely the following Quantum
problem. Need full detailed answer, equations and if
possible, theory/literature.

Transcribed Image Text:The Hamiltonian for an electron in a hydrogen atom subject to a
constant magnetic field B is (neglecting spin):
e2
p2
H =
2me
e
-L· B
2me
4TEor
where L is the angular momentum operator.
(a) Consider the line corresponding to the transition
(n = 4,1 = 3) –→ (n = 3, 1 = 2). What will be the effect of the
magnetic field on that transition line?
Sketch the new spectrum and the possible transitions,
constrained by the selection rule Am = 0, ±1.
