Consider the (eight) n = 2 states, |2ℓjmj). Find the energy of each state, under weak-field Zeeman splitting, and construct a diagram like Figure 7.10 to show how the energies evolve as  Bext increases. Label each line clearly, and indicate its slope.

EA -13.6(1 + a/4) eV mj=1/2 Bext m=-1/2

Figure 7.10: Weak-field Zeeman splitting of the ground state of hydrogen; the upper line (mj = 1/2) has slope 1, the lower line (mj = 1/2) has slope -1.

EA -13.6(1 + a/4) eV mj=1/2 Bext m=-1/2
