We want to look at the angular momentum structure of one electronic level of an atom. a. The atom has orbital angular momentum L, electron spin angular momentum S and nuclear angular momentum I. For very large magnetic fields B, what are the quantum numbers and energies? b. In addition to the static B field along the z axis, we add a transverse oscillating magnetic field. Which states are now coupled by the oscillating field, i.e. between which states are transitions induced?
