Question:

Electrons in the lower of two spin states in a magnetic field can absorb a photon of the right frequency and move to the higher state.

(a) Find the magneticfield magnitude B required for this transition in a hydrogen atom with n = 1 and l = 0 to be induced by microwaves with wavelength λ.

(b) Calculate the value of B for a wavelength of 4.20 cm.
