Introduction to Quantum Mechanics II Quiz 14 Name: December 7, 2012 The Zeeman effect is due to the interaction of the magnetic dipole moment of the atom with an external magnetic field, ∆E = −µ · B. For the orbital motion of the electron, µ= e L, 2mc where m is the mass of the electron, and L = r × p is the orbital angular momentum. Consider the n = 3 states of the hydrogen atom. How many such states are there? Label the states by the angular momentum and magnetic quantum numbers, l and m, respectively. Let the direction of the external magnetic field define the z axis. What is the shift in energy of these states due to the magnetic field? Express your answer in terms of the Bohr magneton, eh̄ . How many distinct energy levels are there belonging to principal µB = 2mc quantum number n = 3? Which state has the lowest energy? Solution: There are n2 = 9 n = 3 states, labeled by {|nlmi} = {|300i, |311i, |310i, |31, −1i, |322i, |321i, |320i, |32, −1i, |32, −2i}. The energy shift is eB Lz = −µB Bm, 2me c in terms of the magnetic quantum number m. Since m takes on the values 2, 1, 0, −1, −2, there are 5 energy levels. The lowest energy level is that for m = −2 taking into account that the charge on the electron is negative. ∆E = − 1
