Lecture 33: Quantum Mechanical Spin
... Hamiltonian for an electron in a magnetic field • Because the electron is a point-particle, the dipole-approximation is always valid for the spin degree of freedom • Any `kinetic’ energy associated with S2 is absorbed into the rest mass • To obtain the full Hamiltonian of an electron, we must add a ...

... Einstein extended this idea by adding that all emitted radiation is quantized. He averred that light is composed of discrete quanta called photons, rather than waves. Thus each photon has an energy given by E = hf where h represents Plank’s constant (6.63 × 10−34 J is or 4.14 × 10−15evis) and f the ...
