Problem 8 If a hydrogen atom is placed in a magnetic field which is very strong compared to its internal field, its orbital and spin magnetic dipole moments precess independently about the external field, and its energy depends on the quantum numbers me and my, which specify their components along the external field direction. (a) Evaluate the splitting of the energy levels according to the values of mu and me (b) Draw the pattern of split levels originating from the n = 2 level, enumerating the quantum numbers of each component of the pattern. (c) Calculate the strength of the external magnetic field that would produce an energy difference between the most widely separated n = 2 levels which equals the difference between the energies of the n = 1 and n=2 levels in the absence of the field.
