Problem 6.161

Find the minimum magnitude of the magnetic field induction BB at which a spectral instrument with resolving power λ/δλ=\lambda / \delta \lambda= =1.0105=1.0 \cdot 10^{5} is capable of resolving the components of the spectral line λ=536\lambda=536 nm caused by a transition between singlet terms. The observation line is at right angles to the magnetic field direction.
