Problem43 05

The document summarizes the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted during spin transitions of protons and electrons in a magnetic field. For protons: - The parallel spin state has lower energy. - The frequency of radiation emitted during transition between parallel and antiparallel states is 7.02×107 Hz, which is in the radio wave region. For electrons: - The antiparallel spin state has lower energy due to negative charge. - The frequency of radiation emitted during transition is 4.62×1010 Hz, which is in the microwave region.

point in the same direction for a proton. So if the
U = μ ⋅ B = − µ z B. N and S
spin magnetic moment of the proton is parallel to the magnetic field, U < 0, and if they
are antiparallel, U > 0. So the parallel case has lower energy.
The frequency of an emitted photon has a transition of the protons between the two
states given by:
∆E E − E− 2 μz B
f = = + =

(6.63 ×10 J ⋅ s)
c 3.00 ×10 +8 m s
⇒λ = = = 4.27 m. This is a radio wave.
f 7.02 ×10 7 Hz
b) For electrons, the negative charge means that the argument from part (a) leads to

the m s = − state (antiparallel) having the lowest energy, since N and S point in

opposite directions. So an emitted photon in a transition from one state to the other has a
frequency
∆ E E − 12 − E + 12 − 2 µ z B
f = = =

⇒ f = 4.62 ×10 10 Hz
c 3.00 ×10 8 m s
so λ = = = 6.49 ×10 −3 m.
f 4.62 ×10 10 Hz
This is a microwave.
