Physics

An atom in an l=1 state emits a photon of wavelength 500.000 nmas it drops to an l=0 state when there is no external magneticfield.

a)Calculate the Zeeman effect splitting (in electron volts)between adjacent energy levels when this atom is placed in anexternal3.00-Tmagnetic field. (eV)

b) List the wavelengths of the 3 spectral lines that could beobserved with a high-resolution spectrographas a result of theinteraction of the atom with the B field. Hint: you may use |dE/E|= |dλ/λ|.Find λ1λ2λ3 in nm. Use 6 sig figs for each.

c) Draw an energy diagram showing the 3 different transitionsresponsible for λ1λ2 and λ
