Problem 6.157

An atom is located in a magnetic field of induction \(B=\) \(=2.50 \mathrm{kG}\). Find the value of the total splitting of the following terms (expressed in eV units): (a) \({ }^{1} D\) (b) \({ }^{3} F_{4}\).

Reveal Answer
(a) \(58 \mu \mathrm{eV}\) (b) \(\Delta E=2 g J \mu_{B} B=145 \mu \mathrm{eV}\).
