A hydrogen atom in a 3d state emits a photon when the
electron transitions to a lower-energy state. In the absence of a
magnetic field, what are the possible wavelengths of the photon?
The atom is then placed in a strong magnetic field in the
z-direction. Ignore spin effects; consider only the
interaction of the magnetic field with the atom’s orbital magnetic
moment. How many different photon wavelengths are observed? Which
transitions lead to the photons with the shortest wavelength?
